ICP DAS-BMP at WHX Dubai 2026 Spotlights Low-Migration and Low-Friction TPU

HSINCHU, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ICP DAS-BMP (Biomedical Polymers), a Taiwan-based manufacturer and supplier of medical-grade TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), is pleased to announce its participation in WHX Dubai 2026 (formerly Arab Health), taking place from 9 to 12 February at the Dubai Exhibition Centre. Visitors can find the ICP DAS-BMP team at Booth S7C117. Image by ICP DAS-BMP The highlight of this year's exhibit will be two TPU innovations addressing critical needs in medical device manufacturing: the Low-Migration Series and the Low-Friction Series. The Low-Migration Arothane™ ARP-B20 TPU is ISO 10993 compliant and suitable for implantation up to 90 days. It minimizes additive migration during processing, helping catheters retain smooth surfaces throughout their shelf life, while offering multiple color options for flexible, customized designs. The Low-Friction Series, engineered with an inherently smooth surface, eliminates the need for additional coatings or post-processing. Made entirely of TPU and free from PFAS or plasticizers, it delivers long-term stability without surface exudation or additive migration. Its low-friction properties suit applications requiring smooth insertion, such as nasogastric tubes with guidewires, while maintaining safety and performance during storage and use. ICP DAS-BMP will also showcase a broad TPU portfolio for diverse medical applications. The ARP, ALP, and ALC series are suitable for devices classified as Limited (less than 24 hours), Prolonged (24 hours–30 days), and Long-term (more than 30 days) contact durations under ISO 10993-1. For radiopaque applications, ARP-B20 and ALC-B40 (qualified for 90-day implantation) and the ARP-W/WG series (40–60% tungsten) provide enhanced visibility for invasive or implantable devices. The Engineering Arothane™ EARP series, known for clarity and mechanical strength, is ideal for orthodontic components, Luer-Lock connectors, and other precision medical devices. Together, these materials reflect ICP DAS-BMP's commitment to advancing safer, reliable, and versatile TPU solutions, helping medical device manufacturers meet evolving healthcare needs.

Thai Researcher Turns Durian Peel Waste into High-Value Sustainable Fiber

BANGKOK, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A doctoral graduate from Chulalongkorn University has developed Thailand's first woven fiber made from discarded durian peels, transforming one of the country's largest agricultural waste streams into high-value, sustainable fashion materials with global potential. Thai Researcher Turns Durian Peel Waste into High-Value Sustainable Fiber Dr. Usa Prachakul, a doctoral graduate from the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University (Creative Arts – Fashion and Textiles), the creator of "Circular Textile Innovation from Durian Peel Waste to Anti-bacterial Clothing converts durian peel waste into textile fibers that offer higher breathability than pure silk and near-100 percent antibacterial properties. The material has been used to create fashion and lifestyle items under the brand MUW, which blends natural materials, art, and spiritual beliefs. The research received the Outstanding Award at the 2024 Thailand Research Expo, underscoring its scientific and commercial promise. Thailand is the world's largest producer of durian, with exports of fresh and processed products rising sharply in recent years—by nearly 488 percent. This growth, however, has intensified environmental pressures. Data from 2017 to 2021 show that durian peels generate about 146 million kilograms of waste annually, a figure that continues to increase. Most of this waste is currently disposed of through landfilling or open burning, practices that impose costs on farmers while contributing to pollution and long-term health risks for surrounding communities. Seeking alternatives to burning and burial, the researcher focused on extracting value from durian peels through material science and sustainable design. The resulting fiber not only reduces waste but also offers functional advantages over conventional textiles, including natural antibacterial qualities and enhanced comfort, without relying on chemical treatments. Beyond technical performance, the project aims to support Thailand's soft power strategy by positioning sustainable Thai innovation on the global stage. By turning an abundant local by-product into premium fashion materials, the work connects environmental stewardship with creative industries and economic development. The researcher said the project demonstrates how agricultural waste can be reimagined as a resource rather than a liability. By integrating scientific research with design and cultural storytelling, the durian-peel fiber shows potential for scaling up production, generating new income streams, and reducing the environmental footprint of Thailand's booming durian industry. As global demand grows for eco-friendly materials and circular-economy solutions, the durian-peel fiber highlights how locally grounded research can address environmental challenges while creating distinctive products for international markets.

The university is also listed as the best in Thailand for the 15th Consecutive Year (since 2009), according to the newly released QS World University Rankings 2024, putting Chula at 211th in the world, up from 244th last year.
