Evaluation of Plasticisers for PVC for Medical Devices 4 Activities during the projectDuring the work, twelve working group meetings and two reference group meetings have been held. Furthermore, a meeting has been held with a representative from Reilly Chemicals, a company producing Plasticisers for PVC. Three members of the working group have visited University of Strathclyde to present and discuss the project with Professor James Courtney, Bioengineering Unit. Finally, a number of meetings have been held with the Danish partners. Further, the group has used the expertise of Laporte Performance Chemicals UK Ltd in the selection of non-DEHP Plasticisers. Hydro Polymers Limited have prepared the PVC compounds. Laporte Performance Chemicals UK Ltd have supplied one plasticiser. Danish Technological Institute, Plastics Technology have injection moulded tensile test specimens and square samples for testing of other properties. Papyro-Tex A/S have prepared film samples by roll milling and determined tensile properties on the film samples. Danish Technological Institute, Plastics Technology have determined tensile properties, indentation hardness, density and cold flexibility temperature on injection mouldings. Danish Technological Institute, Packaging and Transport have determined light transmission on film samples.
