Foster Corp. has introduced the NanoMed EX compounds, which have 45% greater stiffness than Arkema’s Pebax 7233 MED without a reduction in elongation.
NanoMed EX compounds are designed to bridge the gap between the Pebax TPE resin, a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) made of flexible polyether and rigid polyamide, and nylon 11 in flexural modulus, a key property linked to improved pushability and torque for cardiovascular and neurovascular catheters.

Particles measuring less than 1 nm are dispersed throughout a Pebax polymer-based matrix using the company’s polymer processing technology. The result is a polymer formulation with the appearance and processability of an unmodified Pebax resin.
