Tekni-Plex’s Colorite, Natvar to exhibit at Medtec China

Tekni-Plex recently announced that its Colorite and Natvar businesses will be showcasing their latest medical device compounds and medical tubing at Medtec China this year.

Natvar recently launched its microextrusion and silicone tubing solutions and will feature them at the event. The company is also showcasing some of its PVC tubing solutions, including multiplayer combinations with polyethylene and EVA and anti-kinking tubing options.

The company’s microextrusion tubing is used in a number of applications, including neurovascular interventional therapies and surgical applications. It can be made from thermoplastics and other highly-engineered materials.

Natvar also manufactures high-precision medical silicone extrusion tubing that is typically used for catheters, feeding tubes, drug delivery and peristaltic pump applications.

Colorite will be touting medical device commercialization trends for its Cellene line of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds. TPE alternatives are used in a number of applications, including drip chambers, IV and peristaltic pump tubing. Cellene TPEs are used in medical devices, packaging and other regulated markets.

The two companies will be presenting at booth B208, Sept. 26-28 in Shanghai, China.
