ICP DAS-BMP Showcases Innovations at COMPAMED 2026

Introduction
ICP DAS-BMP, a prominent Taiwanese manufacturer of medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), will be making waves at the upcoming COMPAMED 2026, scheduled from November 16 to 19 at Messe Düsseldorf, Germany. The event will provide a significant platform for the company to showcase its diverse TPU product line, including exciting new developments through its participation in the newly formed Taiwan TPU Alliance.

Innovative TPU Products
At the forefront of ICP DAS-BMP's exhibition will be two noteworthy TPU innovations: the Low-Migration Series and the Low-Friction Series. These products aim to enhance the safety and effectiveness of medical devices.

• - Low-Migration Arothane™ ARP-B20 TPU: Designed for implantation for up to 90 days, this new material complies with ISO 10993 standards. Its formulation effectively reduces additive migration to the surface of medical devices, ensuring long-term stability crucial for medical applications.
• - Low-Friction Series: This series boasts a smooth surface inherent to TPU, removing the need for additional coatings or post-processing. Its design is particularly beneficial for handling invasive catheters with guidewires, as it promotes comfort and control, while being free from PFAS and plasticizers.

In addition to these innovations, the company will present the ARP, ALP, and ALC series, which are designed for limited, prolonged, and long-term contact durations in accordance with ISO 10993-1 guidelines. For medical devices requiring radiopaque properties, the ARP/ALP/ALC-B20/B40 series incorporates barium sulfate, while the ARP-W/WG series utilizes tungsten to enhance visibility during usage.

Taiwan TPU Alliance
