Their outstanding properties also satisfy strict safety and hygiene regulations and tough mechanical requirements. Makrofol®, for example, has such high heat resistance that it can be sterilized using media such as superheated steam. A further advantage of our films is their excellent resistance to the disinfectants and cleaning agents in everyday use in the medical industry.

Our Makrofol® and Bayfol® medical technology films comply with current international standards such as ISO 10993-1 on the biocompatibility of plastics that remain in contact with body fluids and tissue for up to 30 days.

It is extremely important to us that medical technology manufacturers consider us a reliable partner. We therefore safeguard the long-term availability of our medical technology films, ensure reliable delivery and supply binding assurances that the formulations for these films will remain constant.

The Bayer MaterialScience publication "Makrolon® and Apec® for medical devices" provides a general overview of these products and their performance characteristics specific to the medical industry.
