Customers now have new options for creating long-lasting products that advance patient safety.” 

Consumer products that use a TPE grip have been used extensively to provide ergonomic benefits, particularly for usability and safety.

Improving safety for those that protect us—law enforcement, first responders, and military service personnel.

CLEVELAND – October 5, 2023 – Dyneema®, owned by Avient Corporation, a leading provider of specialty and sustainable material solutions, today announced the launch of a next-generation unidirectional (UD) material innovation based on its third-generation fiber: a groundbreaking development poised to enhance the safety and mobility of law enforcement officers and military forces.

This approach is based on Input Stream Management, which strives to reduce the environmental impact on people and the planet, promote responsible use of resources, and support a high level of consumer safety.

PLASTICS advances the priorities of our members, who are dedicated to investing in technologies that improve capabilities and advances in recycling and sustainability and providing essential products that allow for the protection and safety of our lives.

Like other Mevopur products, the bio-based polymer solutions are formulated with raw materials pre-tested to ISO, USP, EP, and ICH Q3D protocols, supporting their compliance with safety and regulatory requirements for use in healthcare.  

OnFlex TPEs add the performance and safety needed for applications such as automotive components

Graphene is a flat, single layer of carbon atoms in sheet form that is significantly stronger than steel.3 It has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high tensile strength (how much it can stretch before it breaks), and high electron mobility (the speed at which its electrons move when voltage is applied).4 Graphene is not a new material, but it recently became commercially available and is now being used as a polymer additive. Boyson, et al., “Graphene: Sheets of Carbon-based Nanoparticles,” http://www.dummies.com/education/science/nanotechnology/graphene-sheets-of-carbon-based-nanoparticles/ 5E. Compounds at the high end of the resistivity scale shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI).1 Faster data transmission and broader electromagnetic frequencies are driving the need for better EMI/RFI protection for electronic devices.2
