Henkel announces Loctite medical resin colours and an industrial resin preview
Henkel expanded MED414 with red and clear options and planned to preview IND3785 at Formnext, while the industrial material's availability remained forthcoming.
Evidence notes
- The new MED414 colours retain the mechanical performance and biocompatibility of the existing blue resin.
- IND3785 is a rigid white formulation designed for chemical resistance and low migration and leachable content.
- Henkel had tested migration and extraction with different food simulants and use conditions as part of the industrial resin's evaluation.
