Evonik expanded its capacities for RESOMER powder biomaterials at its Darmstadt site in Germany. The specialty chemicals company now offers an advanced solvent-free micronization technology to produce custom powders with different particle sizes and material properties. With the new production capacities, Evonik also intends to expand its own portfolio of standard RESOMER powders for medical devices to open up customized material solutions for precision implants.
Evonik’s new technology platform will open up opportunities to collaborate with customers to co-design and manufacture specialized RESOMER powders with customized particle sizes for a broad range of medical applications.
Evonik’s solvent-free micronization technology can be offered from small laboratory scale to commercial manufacturing. This allows customers to test and optimize their own formulations with smaller volumes of technical material before ordering larger commercial quantities that are manufactured under ISO 13485 and GMP standards.
Evonik is a global solutions provider of innovative materials for the medical device and pharmaceutical markets. Commercially available for more than 30 years, RESOMER is Evonik’s brand of bioresorbable polymers, renowned for its use in the production of resorbable medical devices and pharmaceuticals, with an established reputation for efficacy, biocompatibility and safety.
