Life Science
starlim manufactures components made of medical grade silicone for
- medical devices
- fluid flow compents (IV, blood, pharmaceutical)
- laboratory diagnostics
- opthalmic surgery components
- the food industry (flow control valves)
- the cosmetics sector
- and numerous other applications
In the life sciences sector, hygiene and cleanliness have the highest priority. This means that the special properties of silicone are particularly important in this industry. This includes biocompatibility (according to USP Class VI/ISO 10993 for applications in medicine and the food industry), sterilizibility (with ethylene oxide, steam, gamma rays and e-beam) and the approvals for all bottle nipples and pacifiers in the baby product industry from the FDA.
State-of-the-art production conditions and clean-room production guarantee the highest processing quality. Clean, hygienic and reliable – all of this is starlim.
Our products for the life science industry include, for example:
- Components for medical devices
- Components for hearing aids
- Dosing valves for food packaging, e.g. Ketchup bottles
- Nipple shields for mothers
- O-rings for dialysis filters
- Seals for infusion systems
- Teats for baby pacifiers
- Tourniquet for drawing blood
- Valves for inhalation devices
Services
Product Development
Product development
At starlim, we have extensive material and process knowledge about the phenomenon of silicone. With reference to your requirements, we start with the product development together.
Tool making
Tool making
We stick to the “single source supply” principle. Marchtrenk is not only the center for the development of products. Here we design and produce the molds for injection molding products exclusively in our own tool making department. Our expertise is concentrated entirely here at our HQ. This makes us independent and we can react in a flexible manner.
Rapid Tooling
Rapid Tooling
Early mass production-like LSR parts within only 10 working days – this is rapid tooling starlim-sterner-style.
Rapid Tooling – fast tool making – was developed so our customers could be offered first LSR injection parts after a brief time span; those parts were made under mass production-like conditions.
Test tool
Test tool
First serial parts within a short span of time. By producing a test tool it is possible to offer our customers LSR injection molding parts which after a brief time span were made under mass production conditions.
Micro injection molding
Micro injection molding
At starlim, components are manufactured in large series as standard, which have a weight of at least 10mg. We refer to silicone components under 10mg as micro injection molding.
Clean room
Clean room
In order to have a controlled environment for the production of the purest silicone parts, starlim has its own clean room. This is certified according to the classes ISO 14644-1 class 7 & 8 as well as GMP class C&D.
Production
Production
In the fully automatic injection molding process, one-component and multi-component parts are made from silicone at starlim. Production takes place at the Austrian locations in Marchtrenk, Weißkirchen and Lambach as well as in our Canadian branch in London / Ontario.
