Makrolon Rx2530

Grade: Rx2530

Overview

Higher-flow medical polycarbonate for thin-wall and complex geometries. Easier to fill than Rx1805 at the cost of some impact strength, making it the practical choice for intricate luer fittings and manifolds.

Key advantages
  • High flow
  • Thin-wall capable
  • Gamma stable
Applications

Typical values for reference only — not a specification. Confirm against the current producer datasheet before designing to these numbers.

Chemical resistance

Chemical compatibility for this grade has not been assessed yet. Ratings are added as our applications engineering team reviews each resin family.

Ratings describe the resin's general behaviour, not your part. Moulded-in stress, wall section, temperature and applied load all change the outcome — qualify the finished device with your own cleaning and exposure protocol.

Maximum dose and cycle counts require producer validation data, so we show "Confirm with producer" rather than a figure. Retention and discoloration notes are qualitative. Sterilization must always be validated on the finished device.

Documents marked “Request” are supplied on account. We link a download only when a real, current file is on file — never a placeholder that would 404.

Supply & logistics

Stocking, lead time and packaging for this grade are confirmed per order. Request a quote and the team responds with live availability rather than a figure that may be stale.

Processing & design notes

Primary process

Injection molding

Typically injection molded; verify drying requirements and melt temperature against the producer datasheet.

Structural role

Rigid transparent structural polymer — clear housings and components needing impact strength.

Typically paired with

  • A TPE overmold for grip or sealing
  • A radiopaque additive for imaging
  • A compatible solvent-bond adhesive

Engineering watch-outs

  • Hygroscopic — dry to the producer-specified moisture level before molding to avoid hydrolytic degradation and splay.
  • Verify heat-deflection temperature against your autoclave cycle before assuming steam compatibility.
  • Always qualify the specific lot and grade against your own device master record and validation plan.

Qualitative guidance only. We don't publish processing windows — confirm melt and mold temperatures, drying, and shrinkage against the producer technical data sheet and your own part qualification.
