PEBA is a high-performance thermoplastic elastomer with elastic memory, better low temperature properties, and higher elongation at break than other thermoplastic elastomers. It is available with a Shore D hardness range from 35 to 72. This produces a broad spectrum of mechanical properties which make it perfect for catheter jackets; varying degrees of flexibility or stiffness as required. PEBX Glide™, our high lubricity PEBA blend, retains many of the same mechanical properties that make it attractive for catheter jacketing, but with up to a 60 percent decrease in coefficient of friction, resulting in reduced drag and enhanced performance.
