MARFRAN s.r.l. has been producing TPS (SBC-based TPEs) for the medical and pharmaceutical packaging industry since the early years of the new millennium.
MARFRAN
Much progress has been made and in 2015 MARFRAN inaugurated the new plant dedicated to medical materials. The production plant is located in an ISO class 8 cleanroom that houses the entire production process: from the preparation of the compounds, through the compounding stage to the packaging of the finished product, the entire process is carried out in a controlled environment and with an ISO 13485 certified management system.
Over the last years, MARFRAN s.r.l. has developed a wide range of medical TPE compounds under the brand name MARFRAN.MED mostly based on both saturated and unsaturated styrenic block copolymers for the most diverse and well-established applications in the medical device and pharmaceutical packaging industries.
MARFRAN s.r.l. does not want to be just "a supplier" of medical TPE, but wants to offer innovative and customised solutions. An example of such approach are the new specific compounds intended for the manufacture of catheter balloons both by extrusion and by dipping, characterised by extremely low hardnesses and high mechanical properties in relation to hardness.
MARFRAN.MED MD 0070, available in hardnesses between 15 and 25 Shore A, offers a valuable solution for making balloons by extrusion, while MARFRAN MR 1679, available in hardnesses between 5 and 20 Shore A, enables the making of balloons by dipping due to its specific physical form that facilitates dissolution in solvent.
M ARFRAN s.r.l. is therefore the ideal, flexible and fast partner to develop innovative and customised projects by offering its expertise in the service of the customer.
