TECAFIL PPSU MT XRO grey, based on the polymer polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), is designed for medical applications. It is a coloured version of TECAFIL PPSU MT XRO blue and their properties are similiar.
Ensinger offers this material in five different colours in total for a wider choice: blue, red, green, grey and yellow.

This filament has been tested resp. evaluated for biocompatibility according to standard ISO 10993-1, -4, -5, -18 and meets the specified requirements for contact of up to 24 hours with skin and tissue and, if applicable, indirect contact with blood.

For the biocompatible plastic materials within the Ensinger MED- / MT-standard-portfolio, a biocompatibility declaration is supplied on an order-related basis. The order-related declaration also serves to provide consistent and for our customers comprehensible traceability of the customer order with regard to the products and the raw materials used.
