News Releases

ORANGEBURG, S.C., June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Zeus Industrial Products, Inc. (Zeus), a leading polymer solutions provider and material science innovator, has announced the introduction of a new polyimide (PI) family of products. The new additions include tubing and coated wire containing polyimide and PI Glide™, a more lubricious composite of polyimide with PTFE.

With the addition of these products to Zeus' established portfolio, medical device manufacturers are able to further consolidate suppliers, benefiting from Zeus' proven quality, service, capability, and capacity to grow.

Design engineers can benefit from polyimide resin's inherent characteristics, as well as the ability to:

• Minimize profile, maximize the available working channel, and reduce rigidity with thin wall thicknesses.
• Customize lubricity and strength by layering polyimide and PI Glide™.
• Combine PI Glide™ with a polyimide jacket to create tubing with a lubricious ID and a bondable OD.

Zeus is exhibiting its new polyimide product family in booth 1421 at MD&M East, the East Coast's leading MedTech event. MD&M East takes place on June 11th -13th, 2019 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York City.
