Ixef GS-1022 PARA
Ixef GS-1022 is a glass fiber reinforced polyarylamide from Syensqo, specified in medical applications where stiffness and surface finish matter more than toughness. Genesis converts it into extruded rod for machining into single use and limited reuse instrument components.
Where Ixef sits against the other grades
Polyarylamide is a semicrystalline polyamide. Reinforced with glass fiber it is stiff and holds a high quality molded or machined surface, which is why it appears in instrument bodies and handles where appearance and rigidity are both requirements.
It is not a direct substitute for the polysulfones. Radel PPSU is specified where repeated steam sterilization across many cycles is the governing requirement; Ixef is more often specified for single use or limited reuse devices. See Radel 5500 PPSU and Veriva PPSU.
Conversion at Genesis
Genesis extrudes Ixef into rod and machines it to finished components. See Genesis as a provider of Syensqo Ixef PARA extruded rod and machining.
Conversion routes available: stock shapes extrusion, precision machining and, subject to confirmation, injection molding.
Quality system
ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified, FDA registered site, IQ, OQ and PQ process validations.
FAQs: Ixef GS-1022 PARA
What is Ixef PARA?
Ixef is Syensqo's polyarylamide, a semicrystalline polyamide usually supplied glass fiber reinforced, specified where stiffness and surface finish are the governing requirements.
In what forms does Genesis supply Ixef?
Genesis extrudes Ixef into rod and machines it into finished components. Confirm available forms and sizes with Genesis engineering.
How does Ixef compare with Radel PPSU?
They are specified for different problems. Radel PPSU is the usual choice where repeated steam sterilization is central; Ixef is more often specified where stiffness and surface finish matter. Discuss the specific device with Genesis engineering.
Is Ixef suitable for implants?
Genesis converts implantable grade PEEK for implant applications. Confirm the intended body contact and duration with Genesis engineering before specifying any grade.
