Features of Polyzene^®-F

Polyzene®-F offers unique properties that are particularly applicable to the medical device industry. At the heart of its benefits are the polymer’s bio-beneficial properties and virtually unlimited uses due to the unique synthesis and application methodologies.

Bio-beneficial Properties

• Biocompatible – Polyzene^®-F is not detected by the body, has a high molecular weight and is ultra-pure
• Anti-inflammatory – does not release carbon radicals known to invite inflammatory response
• Bacterial resistant – hydrophobic material prevents bacterial infiltration and negatively charged material repels gram negative bacteria
• Promotes endothelial (healthy) cell growth – the undetectable nature eliminates inflammatory cell reactions while the surface inhibits adhesion of platelets that lead to blood coagulation and thrombosis
• Outstanding coating adhesion properties – Polyzene^®-F retains its bio-beneficial properties when mixed or extruded

Unique Application Methodology

• Is synthesized to be ultra-pure
• Can be applied as desired: as a surface treatment of 3-5 nanometers to 100-200 nanometers, or more
• Can be formed into films, matrices, membranes, and rubber-like layers
• Can be applied to different substrates, including items made of multiple materials
• Application doesn’t change the characteristics of the substrates or Polyzene^®-F
• Can be used as coating, extruded, woven, electrospun, etc.
