What is ViviOnTM?
ViviOnTM (CBC) is a novel cyclic block copolymer polymer (CyclicBlock Copolymer) based on the efficient catalytic total hydrogenation technology developed by Dow Chemical Co., Ltd. and the hydrogenation of styrene and conjugated copolymers. , referred to as CBC).
advantage
This novel plastic has the advantages of extreme cleanliness and ultra-high visible and ultraviolet (UV) transparency (including deep ultraviolet UVC), as well as excellent chemical resistance, gamma (Gamma) and electron beam irradiation sterilization, etc. Advantage.
In terms of processing, CBC has excellent thermal oxidation stability, low water absorption and low density, and is suitable for extrusion, injection molding, blow molding and other processing processes.
In addition, CBC can satisfy the characteristics of a rigid plastic with excellent mechanical strength to a flexible elastic elastomer by adjusting the ratio of soft and hard blocks in the chemical structure of the copolymer. The material properties of different products require a broader product design space.
Taiju Group
Taiwan Poly Group has been established in the Taiwan region for more than 50 years. Apart from deepening its traditional industries such as petrochemicals and plastics, its subsidiaries have expanded into areas such as electronics, optoelectronics, storage and transportation, trading and venture capital, and have operating locations all over the world.
After acquiring high efficient catalytic total hydrogenation technology from the Dow Chemical Company in 2011, Taigao Company continued to focus on the development of high-value products. In addition to material research, process design and product application and development, Taigao completed its work in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 2018. The first cyclic block copolymer (CBC) production line was built and ViviOnTM was introduced as the CBC brand.
Advantages of ViviOnTM (CBC) in Medical Applications
Thanks to the synthesis of ViviOnTM (CBC) precursors using anionic polymerization technology, ViviOnTM (CBC) has a higher degree of cleanliness than common plastics, which is reflected in extremely low solvent extraction and volatile gas emission ( Low VOC), the material itself does not contain
Bisphenol A (BPA), Bisphenol S (BPS) and any plasticizers.
In terms of chemical resistance, ViviOnTM (CBC) is resistant to most polar solvents, including acids, bases, alcohols, ketones, etc., as well as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), silicone oil and ethyl Alcohol (ethyleneglycol).
Products made with ViviOnTM (CBC) can be sterilized with ethylene oxide (EtO), gamma radiation, and electron beam, making ViviOnTM (CBC) a safe and reliable new medical material material.
In addition, ViviOnTM (CBC) has a higher UV-band penetration and UV aging resistance (not yellowing) than competitive materials, and is far lower than that of conventional plastics.
The application of biomedical detection consumables can reduce the interference of the detection consumables with the fluorescent signal of the analyte, and improve the accuracy of the analysis results.
ViviOnTM (CBC) passed a number of ISO10993 biocompatibility test programs and complies with the US Pharmacopoeia USP <88>ClassVI, USP <661>And Japanese Pharmacopoeia testing standards.
