The Lubrizol Corporation’s LifeScience Polymers business showcased its advanced wound care tapes, films and dressings, as well as its non-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) medical technologies for IV tubes, medical bags and medical garments/drapes at the 2013 CHINAPLAS International Exhibition on Plastics and Rubber Industries in Pazhou, Guangzhou from May 20-23.

During the show, which featured the theme “The Future is in Plastics and Rubber,” attendees learned more about Lubrizol LifeScience Polymers offerings in the field of:

Advanced Wound Care Specialty chemical and polymer technology as used in products with:

- Breathable barrier properties to control the transmission of oxygen and microbes;

- Customizable moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) to maintain a desirable level of moisture within a wound area; fast and easy installation using strong, solvent cement welded joints;

- Absorbency properties that allow the capture of moisture and exudate from wounds;

- Proven biocompatibility to allow product use in contact with the body

- Broad elastic properties that allow maximum comfort and flexibility for the skin

Non-PVC Medical Devices Medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), alone or in combination with other plastics, to create safe, biostable products that meet the requirements of medical applications where PVC might be not be an ideal material. These solutions are:

- Non-phthalate, plasticizer free product line

- Clean, clear and colorable to allow customization

- Biocompatible, making them safe to use with the human body

- Compliant, meaning they meet the demands of all applicable regulations

- Kink-resistant, with the ability to recover original shape after a kink

- Strong, easy to process and simple to weld
