Introduction
The dental equipment industry places extremely high demands on material performance: devices must be resistant to high-temperature sterilization, chemical corrosion, mechanically strong, and reliable over the long term. Plastic pellets, as the core raw material for dental equipment, directly determine product qualification rates, service life, and market competitiveness.
However, many buyers face challenges in selecting pellets: unstable pellet batches, poor processing compatibility, complex certification and compliance, and a difficult balance between cost and performance. Juyuan, leveraging its years of experience in supplying plastic raw materials, provides dental equipment manufacturers, consumables manufacturers, and 3D printing companies with stable, high-performance, and customizable pellet solutions, enabling product innovation and cost optimization.
1. The Critical Role of Plastic Pellets in Dental Equipment
| Performance Indicator | Dental Device Requirement | Importance for Procurement |
| Heat Resistance | High-temperature sterilization 120–180°C | Prevents part deformation, extends service life |
| Chemical Resistance | Exposure to disinfectants and oral chemical environment | Improves device durability |
| Mechanical Strength | Injection-molded, extruded, or 3D-printed parts | Ensures operational safety, prevents breakage |
| Biocompatibility | ISO 10993, FDA standards | Mandatory for medical compliance |
🌟 Purchasing Key Points: Pellet performance directly impacts dental device certification and performance.
2. Comparison of Major Pellet Types and Applications
| Plastic Type | Key Properties | Injection/Extrusion Suitability | Dental Application | Performance Rating | Cost Reference |
| PPSU | High heat resistance, chemical resistance, toughness | Cao | Surgical instruments, reusable dental trays | ★★★★★ | Cao |
| PEEK | High strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance | Trung bình | Critical components of high-end surgical instruments | ★★★★ | Very High |
| PC/ABS Blend | Good rigidity, transparent | Cao | Scanner housings, dental instrument enclosures | ★★★ | Trung bình |
| PEI | High strength, thermal stability | Trung bình | Precision dental models, guide plate parts | ★★★★ | Cao |
Ghi chú:
・Performance Evaluation (★): A comprehensive evaluation of high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, toughness, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. The more ★ marks, the better.
・Injection Molding/Extrusion Compatibility: Purchasers can intuitively assess the processing difficulty of pellets.
・Cost Reference: To provide a budgetary perspective for purchasing, high-performance pellets are more expensive, but they can reduce scrap and repair costs.
3. Practical Case Comparison
Case 1: Dental Surgical Instrument Tray
・Using PC pellets: Slight deformation and minor surface scratches after three sterilization cycles.
・Using PPSU pellets: Withstood over 50 high-temperature sterilization cycles without deformation or scratches.
・Conclusion: High-performance pellets reduce scrap and improve equipment reliability.
Case 2: Oral Scanner Housing
・Using ABS Pellets: Processing is smooth, but transparency is limited and the surface is less glossy.
・Using PC/ABS blend pellets: High transparency and mechanical strength meet both aesthetic and durability requirements.
4. Purchasing Guide - How to Choose Plastic Raw Material Pellets
Application Matching: Choose low-cost, chemical-resistant pellets for disposable dental consumables; choose high-temperature-resistant, high-strength pellets for high-end reusable instruments.
Processing Technology: Injection molding pellets require good flowability, extrusion pellets require thermal stability, and 3D printing pellets require uniform particle size and high thermal stability.
Certification and Compliance: Medical-grade particles certified by ISO 10993, FDA, and CE are preferred.
Cost-Performance Balance: While high-performance particles may be more expensive per unit, they can reduce scrap and repair costs, resulting in better long-term cost-effectiveness.
