What is ABS Plastic Raw Material

Among numerous abs plastic raw materials, SABIC's CYCOLAC™ HMG47MD stands out for its high adaptability to the medical industry. It is not only a general-purpose injection-grade ABS, but also meets the biocompatibility requirements for food contact and medical devices. It can be sterilized by radiation (including gamma-ray treatment) and is suitable for disposable medical devices, care accessories and general medical shells, etc.

This means that when manufacturers design medical products, they can ensure structural strength and appearance stability while reducing performance loss caused by the sterilization process, thereby enhancing overall production efficiency and product safety.

1. Core feature: A balance between reliability and processing stability

The performance combination of CYCOLAC™ HMG47MD strikes a balance between mechanical durability, thermal stability and electrical insulation, making it particularly outstanding in medical equipment and food packaging applications.

  ・Biocompatibility and radiation resistance: The material has passed radiation sterilization tests and is suitable for gamma-ray treatment without affecting mechanical and appearance properties.

  ・High dimensional stability: With a low coefficient of linear expansion, it can maintain good structural accuracy at high temperatures and is suitable for precision injection molded parts.

  ・Strong processing adaptability: With a wide range of melt index, it can be applied to the forming of multi-cavity molds and complex structural parts.

  ・Excellent insulation and dielectric properties: Stable electrical insulation performance ensures the long-term reliable operation of medical electronic equipment.

  ・Food contact safety: Meets the requirements of food-grade ABS raw materials and can be used for medical packaging and care contact components.

In the fields of medical consumables, nursing equipment and food processing, this type of abs plastic raw material not only undertakes structural functions, but also becomes an important part of safety standards.

2. Process technology analysis

As an abs plastic raw material specifically used in the medical and food contact fields, CYCOLAC™ HMG47MD has good injection molding adaptability and dimensional stability.

  ・Wide processing temperature range: The recommended melting temperature is 220-250°C, and the mold temperature is 60-80°C, which can adapt to complex thin-walled parts.

  ・Drying treatment: Dry at 80°C for 2 to 4 hours before injection molding to prevent silver streaks or decomposition.

  ・Flow and pressure control: Stable fluidity, insensitive to shear; A smooth appearance can be achieved with moderate injection pressure.

  ・Surface and post-processing properties: The welding line has good adhesion and can undergo secondary processes such as spraying, electroplating, and ultrasonic welding.

  ・Dimensional accuracy: Low shrinkage rate and good thermal stability, suitable for multi-cavity molds and high-precision parts.

In short, HMG47MD combines fluidity and structural stability and is a reliable abs plastic raw material option in medical and packaging manufacturing.

3. Application Fields: Spanning healthcare, food, and consumer goods

CYCOLAC™ HMG47MD is suitable for a variety of scenarios and performs particularly well in the following fields:

  ・Medical equipment: infusion set shells, blood pressure monitor covers, diagnostic instrument shells.

  ・Food packaging and containers: Contact enclosures and encapsulation components, in compliance with FDA and EU food safety standards.

  ・Consumer electronics and general components: Parts and components with strict requirements for dimensional stability and insulation performance.

Compared with traditional ABS, this material combines radiation resistance, stable molding and electrical safety. While meeting regulatory and engineering performance requirements, it reduces compliance costs in product development.
