– February 6, 2018 – At today’s Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West show, PolyOne unveiled an expanded line of On Game changing concentrates for polymer parts create a metallic surface finish that truly mimics paint while eliminating the painting process. PolyOne Showcases Customer Success Sparked by Collaboration and Specialty Polymers at Fakuma 2017

A valuable resource for anyone considering these advanced polymers. Recently, high-performance thermoplastics have been tapped for specialized 3D printed applications in aerospace and medical markets. Amorphous polymers like PSU must be cooled quickly enough to ensure solidification—otherwise, the part may deform or collapse.

The Avient Specialty Inks team will be on-site at ITMA 2023 to highlight these MagnaColours solutions.  

MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT CRACKING AND CRAZING Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing disinfectant-related failures DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE ON POLYMER HOUSINGS Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital- acquired infections can damage equipment and result in material failures, such as: • Stress cracking • Crazing • Discoloration CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS VARY BY ENVIRONMENT • Patient/exam rooms • Operating and radiology rooms • Reception areas • Home (patient equipment & devices) Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip the performance of traditional polymers. Whether you are designing for a medical device housing or a surgical device in the operating room, we offer solutions to meet a wide variety of performance specifications and application needs. TECHNICAL BULLETIN SOLUTIONS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS EVOLVING NEEDS Determining the appropriate polymer for the job can prevent product failures, thereby reducing service calls, product returns and warranty claims for manufacturers.

SPECIALTY SOLUTION BOOSTS PRODUCTIVITY FOR MEDICAL HOSE MANUFACTURER CASE STUDY: VERSALLOY™ THERMOPLASTIC VULCANIZATE Challe nge Accepted. As a result of the system-based cost savings and improved supply reliability, the manufacturer made the decision to proceed with the Avient solution. THE IMPACT Avient’s expertise in materials for medical device applications helped this customer make a smooth transition to the GLS TPV.

Chemically Resistant Polymers for Next Generation Healthcare and Consumer Products Disposable Medical Tray LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations – PTFE-free Solutions

The Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives portfolio includes antistatic additives that reduce the surface resistivity of polymers and the issues caused by electrostatic charges. Avient offers two types of Mevopur antistatic solutions: a non-migrating solution, that uses a fibril network to offer an immediate and constant effect; and a migrating solution, which offers antistatic properties through the attraction of water molecules on the surface to lower surface tension. It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.
