The reinforcement material increased breaking efficiency, resistance to long-term creep, elevated temperatures, and cyclical strain- based fatigue. These elements were critical to the long-term efficacy and safety of the pipeline applicator.

When designing a medical device, selecting a material that will last and perform well under harsh conditions has never been tougher. Values reported as “typical” or stated without a range do not state minimum or maximum properties; consult your sales representative for property ranges and min/max specifications. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

The rate of increase is dependent upon a number of factors, including the plastisol formula, age and storage conditions.
