Why polymer prices matter for laboratory & surgical supplies:

Laboratory and surgical consumables are produced in very large volumes; price movements in PS, PP and the other plastics used feed straight through to manufacturing costs.

  • High volume throughput: with consumables, even a small price difference decides the total cost.

  • Broad material spectrum: PS, PP, PC and PMMA are used according to requirement – and their prices develop differently.

  • Sound basis for calculation: current price data make quotations and budgets for consumables more dependable.
