Core offering

ICP DAS-BMP manufactures and supplies medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) pellets in three primary series (Arothane ARP, Alithane ALP, Durathane ALC) along with specialty variants for medical device OEMs. Products include radiopaque formulations with Tungsten (30-80%) or Barium Sulfate (20-40%) fillers, engineered for catheters, guidewire coatings, implants, and precision medical components. The company also offers OEM/ODM custom services including color matching, polymer analysis, and cytotoxicity testing.

Product overview

ICP DAS - Biomedical Polymers is a Taiwan-based manufacturer and supplier of medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), offering a comprehensive portfolio of three main product series: Arothane™ ARP (aromatic polyether-based), Alithane™ ALP (aliphatic polyether-based), and Durathane™ ALC (aliphatic polycarbonate-based). The portfolio includes specialty variants such as Engineering Arothane™ EARP for precision devices, Low-Migration and Low-Friction series for advanced catheter applications, and radiopaque formulations with Tungsten (30-80%) or Barium Sulfate (20-40%). The company also provides Soft ARP series (hardness below 70A), standard color matching services, and OEM/ODM customization. All products are ISO 13485 certified, USP Class VI and ISO 10993 compliant, and manufactured using smart factory practices leveraging 30 years of industrial automation expertise from parent company ICP DAS.
