AcrylianFabrication process
Acrylian
has designed and implemented a complete process
for the development of acrylic materials for intraocular implants.
Its
materials are produced from acrylic monomers available worldwide and processed
specifically to be biocompatible. The polymer is obtained in the
form of a sheet, cut into buttons and purified with solvent.
The
manufacturing steps are automated to ensure high efficiency, perfect stability and repeatability and high production capacity. Many
process parameters are monitored by the PLCs and recorded to ensure traceability and reliability.
This
process and its installations were developed by Acrylian based on ISO specifications
(13485 and 9001).
THIS PROCESS
INCLUDES:
• A
monomer-purification step to ensuring monomer ultra-high purity and eliminating
non-polymerizable products.
• A
polymerization step allowing a high conversion rate
•
Post-treatment of the polymerized material to reducing concentration of
non-extractible products as low as a few ppm (in strong solvents).
