9 CLEANROOM PRODUCTION Cleanroom Production Components for the medical, pharmaceutical, healthcare and medical industries require the highest levels of cleanliness at all steps of production to meet stringent hygienic standards. The need for germ- and contaminant-free components and environments is ever increasing, and as parts become smaller, they are more sensitive to airborne particles, even those found normally in the air. When superclean products are a requirement for your application, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions offers cleanroom services to ensure this. To serve customers globally Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has installed high-tech cleanrooms conforming with ISO in the Americas, Asia and Europe. These work to a set of stringent internal technical and operating standards in order to guarantee the utmost level of quality, cleanliness, hygiene and process control. If cleanroom manufacturing is not needed, standard production is available. The majority of our tubing is manufactured in a controlled environment to class 100,000 conditions. We regularly monitor ambient temperature, humidity and particulate counts, as standard. Special requirements In addition to cleanroom operations, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions offers a wide range of special finishing operations and services such as: Special washes, such as acetone washes Product coatings and surface modification Product sterilization Special customized packaging Reduction or elimination of secondary operations, such as: - assembly - cutting-to-length - overmolding.

10 STERILIZATION Sterilization WITHSTANDING SERVERE CLEANING REGIMES The Healthcare and Medical industries presents exceptionally demanding environments for tubing, hoses and seals. These products must not only be compatible with system media, but also stringent cleaning regimes. Modern cleaning procedures support production efficiency, prevent toxic and microbial contamination of products and minimize contamination during the process. However, aggressive media used in automated CIP (Cleaning in Place), SIP (Sterilization in Place) and disinfection procedures can shorten tubing and hose life. Complex formulations of chemicals can rapidly cause severe damage to plastics and elastomers, especially in applications with load and pressure. With high temperatures and steam sterilization, this deterioration is sometimes dramatically intensified. As hygiene requirements increase, more cleaning agents and disinfectants are being used. To extend equipment life, working with a supplier that understands materials and processes critical to maximizing efficiency and reducing total cost of ownership, is vital. Trelleborg Sealing Solutions supports you every step of the way in specifying the right specialized elastomer grades that make certain products will withstand emerging CIP and SIP procedures. 10 TRELLEBORG SEALING SOLUTIONS

12 STERILIZATION SILICONE: THE OPTIMUM CHOICE IN STERILIZATION PROCESSES When designing new medical devices, selecting the correct materials and processing techniques are fundamental considerations. Not only must the materials meet functionality requirements and carry a number of certificates and approvals, but also cope with destructive cleaning media. With multidrug resistant microbes causing potential infections, the sterility of medical devices and instruments is a vital necessity. A single-use devices need only withstand one cycle of sterilization, multiuse devices have to cope with the repeated impact of these highly aggressive treatments. There are a number of different sterilization methods used in practice, ranging from radiation to steam and EtO, but most of them involve high energy to ensure aggressive pathogens are killed. With elastomers, high levels of energy results in changes at the molecular level, like unwanted crosslinking or chain scissoring, leading to deterioration over time and a loss of important physical properties, such as flexibility and tensile strength. Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has developed specialized compounds with proven compatibility and resistance to sterilization processes and can aid in selecting the ideal compound, preventing failures which could result in risks to a patient s wellbeing. Special behavior of silicone As an example of an important material consideration, take an elastomer product with small holes, inherent to the function of the component. Due to high energy sterilization regimes involving radiation, the holes could heal over, resulting on a total loss of functionality. When deciding on a material for this kind of application, it is important to work with an experienced supplier who understands the physical effects of sterilization on seal life. In this instance, due to its biocompatibility and resistance to aging, temperature and many chemicals, silicone would be used, as it frequently is for the modern medical device markets and harsh sterilization regimes. Steam Sterilization at +134 C for 5 minutes A steam autoclave is commonly used to sterilize reusable medical devices. This will most likely have little effect on the physical properties of silicone because of its moisture and heat resistance Hardness / Compression set / Tensile Strength Sterilization cycles - Steam +134 C Hardness Shore A Compression Set [%] Tensile Strength [N/mm²] Elongation at break [%] Elongation at break Figure 1: Physical behavior of silicone during steam sterilization 12 TRELLEBORG SEALING SOLUTIONS

13 STERILIZATION Ethylene Oxide Sterilization (EtO) EtO penetrates microbial cells, destroying nuclear cell components. Silicones generally have a high permeability to gases compared to most elastomeric materials, permitting the EtO molecules to diffuse through the polymer network, sterilizing throughout the entire polymer matrix Hardness / Compression set / Tensile Strength Elongation at break EtO Sterilization [mg/l] Hardness Shore A Compression Set [%] Tensile Strength [N/mm²] Elongation at break [%] Figure 2: Physical behavior of silicone during EtO sterilization Gamma Sterilization Gamma radiation and e-beam are alternative sterilization methods for heat sensitive devices and devices that are not permeable to gasses used in chemical sterilization.

15 ADVANCED ELASTOMERS BENEFITS OF THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS (TPE) TPEs are copolymer mixtures of rubber and plastic, exhibiting properties of both materials. The material consists of a hard and a soft segment. The hard segments are responsible for the hardness and stiffness of the material. The soft segments give the materials their flexibility and elasticity. They require virtually no compounding, reinforcing agents, stabilizers or curing agents, providing consistent batch-to-batch properties, leading to consistent performance in application. The absence of any natural ingredients in the formulation leads to a very pure material, free from any allergens or other natural impurities. Translucent, flexible and resists kinking, making it ideal for pumping and fluid transfer Weldable and heat-sealable Recyclable Lower permeability than silicone Can be sterilized with gamma radiation or in an autoclave Min Temp. - C / -60 F Max Temp C / +275 F Hardness 70 Shore A Compliances USP Class VI, FDA, 3-A, NSF and European sanitary standards TRELLEBORG SEALING SOLUTIONS 15

Multilumen tubing can be produced with a continuous twist at a selectable pitch for applications requiring improved column strength, strain relief and electrical noise reduction when threaded with wires. Bump tubing capabilities are also possible. Multilumen extrusions are made from medical grade HRC, platinum cured silicone. Silicone Foam Close cell silicone foam offers custom mechanical characteristics by lowering effective durometer and providing additional cushion space. Silicone foam extrusion can be customized in a variety of sizes and cross sections with precision tolerances; even pore size and foam density can be adjusted. Silicone foams are made from medical grade HCR, platinum-cured silicone. Reinforced / Kink Resistant Tubing (KRT): urology Silicone Tubes and hoses can be reinforced in a variety of options, from Polyester and stainless steel braids for expansion, elongation or burst resistance to spiral reinforcement with nylon monofilament for kink and crush resistance. Reinforcement is customizable and tubes can be made to precision tolerances. Reinforced tubes are made using medical grade HCR, platinum cured silicone. Extruded Ribbon Silicone tape, sheet or ribbon can be extruded up to 152 millimeters/6 inches in width and with a thickness down to 0.13mm (0.005 inches). Such ribbon can be supplied in spools with carriers and slip sheets or as punched seals or diaphragms.

19 CUSTOM PRODUCTS Wire and Cable Jacketing Wires and cable assemblies up to 5.08 millimeters/0.2 inches can be jacketed with one or more layers of silicone to precision tolerances. Such products can be supplied on spools or cut to length. Wires and cable assemblies are jacketed with medical grade HCR, platinum cured silicone. GeoTrans Geometric transitioning allows for silicone tubing to change cross section during the extrusion process to eliminate molding and secondary bonding steps, allowing for a hygenic design. The technology is applied to custom applications with precision tolerances. Typical changes include: changing of tube ID, OD or both to create a tube with two or more different cross sections, bifurcation or a dual lumen extrusion into two single lumen tubes, inclusion of channels to open internal fluid paths at locations along the extrusion length stopping one of multiple lumen to avoid backfilling, such as when the lumen will be used for balloon inflation. GeoTrans extrusions are made from medical grade HCR, platinum cured silicone. GeoTrans Extruded Balloons Silicone balloons are common to many medical devices. A preformed balloon segment is typically bonded to a catheter shaft at a position where a small opening allows inflation by saline or air. GeoTrans balloons are formed in a single extrusion step as an integral part of a catheter shaft eliminating significant costs associated with secondary operations and inspections. They can be produced in a range of sizes and inflation pressures to fit specific requirements. GeoTrans Single Lumen Our GeoTrans Single Lumen technology, also called Off-Ratio Bump Tubing creates two distinct tube cross sections with near-step transition between. Tubing lengths are available in single transition (cross section A to B) or double transition (cross section A to B to A). Applications include custom end assemblies, such as accommodation of connectors or fitting, and peristaltic pumps. TRELLEBORG SEALING SOLUTIONS 19
