Ultra-pure Plastics Ready for Work Mar. 1, 2006 | Medical Design
"Ultra-pure engineering plastics and elastomers are available for manufacturers of nonimplantable healthcare products and equipment. DuPont Engineering Polymers, Wilmington, Del, (www2.dupont.com/plastics), has launched 12 materials combining high purity with design freedom, performance, and cost benefits of molded or extruded plastics. Grades include nine Hytrels, a Delrin polyacetal with low-volatile emissions, a Zytel nylon with low-moisture absorption, and a Zenite liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) resin well-suited for protection of pharmaceuticals against oxygen and water vapor."
Over 7 years ago DuPont released numerous ultra-pure plastics for medical apps. Some of the apps were to hold ultra-pure water.
"Until the advent of SEMI F63,[1] ultrapure water used for semiconductor manufacturing was loosely defined. The SEMI F63 template has been followed recently with a UPW version for photovoltaic cell manufacturing.[2] For years SEMATECH[3] has referred to UPW as “de-ionized and filtered water.” Additionally, the foremost publication devoted to the subject of UPW, The Journal of Ultrapure Water, reaches across a wide readership audience ranging from water used in electrical power generation to pharmaceuticals to wafer fabrication in semiconductor houses."
This stuff has been around for nearly a decade. IMO Aggs is either totally clueless or is throwing verbal mud-pies at LWLG again. This one doesn't stick.
