Radiopaque TPEE Compound
This radiopaque compound, based on TPEE (thermoplastic polyester elastomer), offers excellent X-ray opacity while maintaining superior flexibility and elasticity.
With barium sulfate content up to 45%, it ensures smooth dispersion and excellent processability. The extruded products exhibit a high-quality, smooth surface finish, making this material ideal for various medical applications, such as catheter components and radiopaque tubing.
