IPC Adapt™

IPC Adapt™ — Medical Polymer Compounds Adapted to Your Application

Medical devices demand materials with the right balance of performance, processability and consistency. IPC Adapt™ is the bespoke medical polymer compound range from IPC – Innovative Polymer Compounds, serving the medical device industry since 2008.

Every IPC Adapt™ compound is developed around your requirements. We combine expertise in medical-grade polymers, functional additives, radiopaque fillers and colour systems to create materials tailored to your application.

Your Requirements Shape the Compound

From material selection to formulation development, we work with you to achieve the properties your device and manufacturing process require—including flexibility, stiffness, radiopacity, lubricity and processing behaviour.

Our capabilities include:

  • Radiopaque compounds
    Formulations incorporating barium sulphate, bismuth compounds, tungsten and other radiopaque additives to achieve application-specific levels of X-ray visibility.
  • Custom-coloured compounds
    In-house colour matching to Pantone, RAL or customer samples, using IPC’s ISO 10993-tested pigment range.
  • Low-friction compounds
    Lubricity and slip additives selected to modify friction, surface characteristics and processing behaviour.
  • Functional compounds
    Formulations incorporating laser-marking additives, antioxidants, UV stabilisers and antimicrobial additives to meet specific performance requirements.
  • Resorbable and specialist compounds
    Selected polymer systems incorporating hydroxyapatite, β-TCP and other functional materials.
  • Custom polymer blends
    Compatible polymers combined to achieve the agreed balance of material properties and processing performance.

Developed for Medical Device Applications

We develop IPC Adapt™ compounds for applications ranging from external medical devices to short-term and long-term implantable devices.

Applications include vascular and neurological tubing, orthopaedic devices, surgical instruments, connectors, inhalers, and ocular and dental devices.

Compounds are primarily supplied as pellets for extrusion, injection moulding and other conversion processes. Filament is also available for selected formulations.

Dedicated Medical Manufacturing in Ireland

IPC Adapt™ compounds are manufactured at our facility in Kilbeggan, Ireland, which operates under an ISO 13485-certified quality management system covering the entire facility.

Flexible production quantities support your project from development trials through to commercial supply. Technical and regulatory documentation is provided to support the agreed product specification and customer requirements.

Let’s Develop Your Next Compound!

Whether you need a custom colour, enhanced radiopacity, lower friction or a specialist formulation, we can help develop a compound around your application.
