Peak targets medical with white room


US-based Peak Performance Compounding has commis- sioned a dedicated white room for medical com- pound production at its plant at Leominster. The 90m2


white room is


climate controlled and equipped with a 32mm Steer co-rotating twin-screw compounding extruder fitted with multiple feeders. It can process commodity resins (including PE, PP, PS, and ABS), engineering polymers (including PEBA,


PA 11/12, and PC) and high- temperature materials (including PEEK, PAEK, PEKK, PSU, and PEI).


Compounding capabili- ties include custom-col- oured polymers and radiopacificed materials (using barium sulphate, bismuth subcarbonate, bismuth oxychloride and tungsten) for Class I and Class II medical device applications, including minimally invasive devices. �www.peak-pci.com
