Industry Overview

An innovator in performance plastics with extensive regulatory compliance expertise, Trinseo delivers best-in-class materials to global manufacturers for single- and multiple-use devices. Engineered with the end user in mind, our thermoplastics, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) enhance applications ranging from surgical instruments and trocars to IV drip chambers and stopcocks to vacuum caps, seals, and gaskets.

Our experts partner with you to provide the best materials for your design, whether you require high melt flow, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, colorability, or clarity. We offer materials, such as acrylic resins, that resist color shift following gamma or electron beam radiation, as well as glass-filled resins for applications requiring high stiffness. Alternatively, our family of wear-resistant, high-lubricity polycarbonate resins is ideal for surgical instruments and drug delivery devices that demand smooth, consistent movement and low friction.

Backed by our proven product portfolio, we customize solutions to align with your needs. Our rigid and soft-touch plastics are fully or partially ISO 10993 biocompatibility tested (medical grade or skin-contact grade) and can be used in injection molding or overmolding applications to enhance the appearance, surface feel, or ergonomics of a medical device. Your goals drive our innovation.
