Zeus Unveils High-Ratio FluoroPEELZ® Clear Peelable Heat Shrink

New Product Offers Medical Device Manufacturers High Clarity Peelable Heat Shrink in Ratios Up To 2:1

ORANGEBURG, S.C., Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Zeus Industrial Products, Inc. (Zeus), a leading polymer solutions provider and material science innovator, has announced an extension to its FluoroPEELZ^® peelable heat shrink product family. High-ratio FluoroPEELZ offers high optical clarity like the other products within the FluoroPEELZ family but is now available in larger shrink ratios.

Because of its optical clarity and easy peel removal, FluoroPEELZ is primarily used in the medical device industry for catheter construction. Optical clarity helps catheter manufacturers visually inspect products during the production process. Manufacturers can spot any defects beneath the heat shrink material and eliminate guesswork during construction.

High-ratio FluoroPEELZ is especially beneficial in the neurovascular and neuromodulation markets where it is used as a reflow/fusing sleeve over softer plastics. Because of the tiny size of these devices, the ability to peel away the heat shrink rather than slit with a razor blade by hand provides an important advantage for device manufacturers.

With the clarity and peelability of Zeus' high-ratio FluoroPEELZ, manufacturers can streamline complex catheter construction processes. These features help manufacturers improve efficiencies, increase yields, and create a safer work environment.

Zeus will showcase its new high-ratio FluoroPEELZ at stand 8BK27 at Compamed, the leading international trade fair for the medical supply industry and for product development. Compamed takes place November 18-21, 2019 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
