Radiation-stable polycarbonate Luer fittings are engineered to maintain structural integrity and performance after exposure to ionizing radiation, including gamma, X-ray, and electron beam sterilization.
Formulated with stabilizing additives, radiation-stable polycarbonate provides enhanced resistance to radiation-induced degradation compared to standard polycarbonate while retaining its core properties of strength, clarity, and impact resistance. These fittings are also lipid-resistant, making them less susceptible to degradation from oils and fats.
Key Specifications:
These fittings are commonly used in industries where sterilization or operation in radioactive environments is necessary. In medical and pharmaceutical applications, they are frequently seen in sterile fluid transfer systems (e.g., tubing, connectors, valves), devices that undergo gamma or e-beam sterilization, bioprocessing equipment used in vaccine or drug production, and single-use assemblies for cleanrooms and sterile processing. They’re also critical in other fields like biotech, nuclear, aerospace, and other applications where they are exposed to sterilization or radiation environments.
