Hello,
I am looking for autoclavable plastics for a water process application. The specific requriements for this material will be:
(1)cost effective
(2)can be autoclaved repeatedly at 121°C/15 psi
(3)biologically compatible
(4)easy to machine and easy to seal with gaskets.
(5)working environment will be groundwater with neutral pH, temperature will be 0-35 degree C.
With preliminary research, I found the following materials which are autoclavable:
Polypropylene (PP), polypropylene copolymer (PPCO), polymethylpentene (PMP), Tefzel® ETFE, and FEP and PFA.
Any suggestions for choosing the right materials from the above list based on the requriements I mentioned? I am not good at materials and any input will be greatly appreciated .
Thanks,
Jen
