How can parts made of PLEXIGLAS^® be sterilized?

Parts made from PLEXIGLAS^® can be sterilized by means of gamma radiation or ethylene oxide gas. However, in the event of repeated sterilization, the following disadvantages are known to occur:

• gamma radiation: yellowing of moldings
• ethylene oxide gas: stress cracking.

For use in the medical field, we recommend our CYROLITE^® molding compound, which was optimized for sterilization purposes.
