Description
This extensively updated second edition was created for medical device, medical packaging, and food packaging design engineers, material
product technical support, and research/development personnel. This comprehensive databook contains important characteristics and properties
data on the effects of sterilization methods on plastics and elastomers. It provides a ready reference for comparing materials in the
same family as well as materials in different families.
Data is presented on 43 major plastic and elastomer packaging materials, including
biodegradable or organic polymers. New to this edition are resin chapters containing textual summary information including: category;
general description; applications; resistances to particular sterilization methods; and regulatory status considerations for use in medical
devices and medical/food packaging. The resin chapter material supplier trade name product data is presented in graphical and tabular
format, with results normalized to SI units, retaining the familiar format of the best selling first edition and allowing easy comparison
between materials and test conditions.
Audience
Medical device, medical packaging, and food packaging design engineers, material product technical support, and research/development personnel.
