When you need a specific thermoplastic material for a drug delivery device, surgical tool, in-vitro diagnostic, orthopedic, or mobile medical equipment, look no further than RTP Company! Our portfolio of proven, medical grade plastic compounds help create safe and effective medical devices and equipment for some of the most famous brands in the world. Click on the boxes below to learn more about the benefits you’ll enjoy when you partner with us.
We work with nearly all medical grade resins available on the market and can speed your product development process by helping you arrive at the correct thermoplastic compound that meets your cost, performance, and regulatory goals.
We have pre-tested several raw materials and additives that meet ISO 10993-1 or USP Class VI requirements. This information is fed into an internal database that tracks the regulatory performance of known biocompatible resins, additives, and colorants. Using this data, we can offer a wide selection of proprietary precolored resins, masterbatches, and thermoplastic elastomers.
With our “no material substitution” and customer notification policy, you have ultimate control over the formulation of your thermoplastic compound! In addition, our Purchasing Department has spent years building a supplier base that is committed to supplying the medical market with consistent raw materials, so that your compound starts with the right resin from the beginning of the process.
Whether your healthcare application will be cleaned using radiation (Gamma/E-beam), Ethylene Oxide (EtO) or steam (Autoclave), we can guide you to a thermoplastic compound that can withstand these sterilization techniques, thereby lengthening the service life of your part, particularly for color and resin integrity. To learn more, download our white paper regarding the Effect of Gamma Sterilization on select TPE material.
We are committed to delivering your thermoplastic compound on-time and defect-free, according to your requirements. Additional options include environmentally controlled manufacturing and an optical sorting service to minimize contamination.

With the release of EPA guidelines and state regulations regarding PFAS, one way to reach compliance is to utilize RTP Company’s environmentally conscious solutions: All Polymeric Wear Alloy (APWA) Compounds or Abrasion Resistant (ABR) Compounds. These materials offer exceptional wear and friction resistance without PTFE or PFOA additives.
Radiopaque Compounds absorb X-rays and are not transparent to radiation. As a result, radiopaque parts and catheters can be monitored inside the body via fluoroscopy or X-ray imaging.
