The Lubrizol Corporation, a global leader in specialty chemicals today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Polyhose, a global leader in fluid conveyance system, to set new levels of innovation in the Indian medical sector. As part of the collaboration, Lubrizol and Polyhose aim to create a medical manufacturing site in Tamil Nadu. 

The MoU, which expands a longstanding partnership between the two organisations, was signed in the presence of Minister for Industries, Tamil Nadu Dr. TRB Rajaa, and Industries Secretary, Tamil Nadu, V Arun Roy. The site will increase Lubrizol’s local medical tubing volume five-fold, allowing easy access to life-saving medical tubing in India and in markets around the world via export. 

The production of high-quality medical tubing will be used in neurovascular and cardiovascular medical applications, such as balloon catheters and minimally invasive procedure catheters.
