PC-ISO (polycarbonate-ISO), an industrial thermoplastic, which in its raw state, is biocompatible and can be gamma or EtO sterilized.
PC-ISO is commonly used in food and drug packaging and medical device manufacturing because of the material’s strength and medical compatibility.
Color options: White, Translucent Natural
