RCH™ Family of Products

RCH™ is a range of high and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene stock shapes used in orthosis applications. With thermoforming temperatures ranging from 160°C to 180°C, materials in this family are suitable for deep drawing requiring malleability and weldability, as well as deep drawing requiring greater dimensional stability.

Products in the RCH™ Family of Products

RCH™ 1000 UHMW-PE
Altron™ 1000 Polycarbonate PC shapes are produced from select batches of non-UV stabilized polycarbonate resin that complies with EU and FDA regulations, for plastics intended to come into contact with food products. This grade in particular is a transparent, amorphous thermoplastic that offers superior impact strength and elasticity, minimal moisture absorption, and outstanding resistance to acidic solutions. These features, in addition to this grade’s exceptional electrical characteristics, make Altron™ 1000 PC an excellent solution for semiconductor and electronics applications, as well as transparent structural applications.
    Material properties
  • Forming temperature of +180°C (356°F)
  • Ideal material for applications requiring excellent sliding properties and wear resistance
  • Suited for deep-drawing
  • Malleable and weldable
  • Used for orthotic applications
RCH™ 500 HMW-PE
RCH™ 500 HMW-PE is a highly versatile, high-molecular weight plastic that is ideal for many orthotic applications. It has a forming temperature between +160°C to 170°C (320°F to 338°F), is suited for deep-drawing and is both malleable and weldable. RCH™ 500 is commonly used for ankle foot orthoses, body jackets and upper limb orthoses.
    Material properties
  • Forming temperature between +160°C to 170°C
  • Ideal material for applications requiring excellent sliding properties and wear resistance
  • Suited for deep-drawing
  • Malleable and weldable
