We firmly believe that chemistry provides the perfect solutions to polish, passivate, deoxidize and coat medical implant devices. And while these chemicals are made to help, they can also do a lot a harm if misused or mistreated.
RBP Chemical Technology is pleased to announce the release of another innovation in its proprietary portfolio of engineered processes for the cleaning, deoxidation and polishing of titanium and titanium alloys. The ElectroPolish 2152 is a non-aqueous, sub-room temperature electropolishing solution designed to yield a superior surface finish and has been shown to provide a uniformly polished surface with minimal metal removal. Use of the Electropolish 2152 enhances the corrosion resistance and thus the biocompatibility of the embedded medical device.
RBP Chemical Technology, the leaders in formulated and engineered processes for the medical device manufacturing industry, is proud to introduce CoCr Electropolish. This development is another innovation in RBP’s portfolio of cleaners, deoxidants and electropolishes/chemical polishes for metal based medical implants. Well recognized by major medical device companies, RBP Chemical Technology brings over 25 years’ experience in providing customized solutions for the corrosion protection and passivation of implantable medical devices.
When it comes to electropolishing Nitinol, it’s important to know how to electropolish Nitinol at room temperature compared to electropolishing Nitinol at very low temperatures. Here are some things to keep in mind when electropolishing Nitinol at different temperatures.
Electropolishing is a process used to remove materials from a metallic surface (in this case medical implant devices) to provide a level surface finish. Some of these surfaces including nitinol, cobalt chrome and titanium alloys. Electropolishing allows for less rejection of medical implant devices. Here are at RBP we offer a variety of electropolishes for the medical implant device industry. Here are some of the electropolishes we offer.
To ensure the effectiveness of medical implant devices it is essential that manufacturers correctly clean, deoxidize, polish and passivate these devices. Here is some relevant background pertaining to these processes.
For parts without colored oxide:
If the polishing is non-uniform, the surface may be oxidized, and require a treatment after the MicroClean Ti™: MicroClean MV™ (RDZ-1995), which, although it is a strong acid de-oxidizer it will NOT remove metal.
