Makrolon(R) DP1-1805, the world's first lipid-resistant polycarbonate resin, meets biocompatibility requirements of FDA-modified ISO 10993, Part 1. Sterilizable by radiation, ethylene oxide and steam autoclaving, it offers excellent bonding with PVC tubing and helps alleviate cracking in high-stress applications where there is contact with intravenous fluid products, particularly lipid emulsions.

Makrolon DP1-1805 polycarbonate is less expensive than specialty polyurethanes, polyetherimide and polysulfone, all of which are currently used for luers, tubing connectors, Y-site medication ports, stopcocks and other high-stress medical applications. The resin also is cost competitive and easier to process than commonly used amorphous copolyester.
