In many cases, companies operating in the food and medical industry have a responsibility to ensure that the plastic they use in their products or in their production is food or medicine approved (so-called Foodgrade or Medicalgrade), that the semi-finished product can be traced to the producer (so-called Traceability) and that the production and the competence of the staff at the supplier comply with the established regulations (Good Manufacturing Practice – GMP).

Important and frequent properties to consider when selecting plastics, or comparing them with alternative materials, to be used in medical applications or environments, or in medical devices:
- Chemical resistance
- Hydrolysis resistance
- Temperature resistance
- Low water absorption
- Not attacked by microorganisms
- UV stable
- Resistance to Gamma radiation
Examples of applications:
- Machine parts
- Implants
- Instruments
For complete presentation of suitable material choices, select grade below. Plastic materials that can be obtained as Medical grade classified and that are common in applications or environments for medication, or in medical devices:
- PEEK – Polyetheretherketone >
- PP – Polypropylene >
- PE – Polyethylene >
We offer complete services in cleanroom: Industrial cleaning, assembly, and packaging in a controlled environment compliant with ISO 14644-1, Class 8 standards.
Our facility is equipped to handle both products manufactured at Nordic Polytech and customer-owned components or units from external sources that require cleanroom processing only.
These services are designed to meet stringent cleanliness and traceability requirements within:
- Medtech (e.g., production and packaging in a controlled environment prior to sterilization).
- Automotive industry (e.g., particle-free assembly of sensitive system components).
- Foodtech sector, our controlled environment ensures hygienic handling, assembly, and packaging of components to meet strict food safety and cleanliness standards.
All processes are carried out under validated conditions with documented quality assurance according to applicable standards and customer-specific requirements.
We have recently expanded our machinery fleet with several high-tech machines, elevating us to the highest level in CNC precision machining. Combined with our cleanroom capabilities, this makes us a unique supplier of precision-machined thermoplastic components on the market.
