Excelite™ IM Chemical Foaming Additives for Automotives - Case Study Disinfectant Resistance for Medical Device Housings - Case Study Manufacturer boosts disinfectant resistance for medical device housings using Trilliant HC High Performance Formulations

We used our expertise in formulating innovative materials for demanding appliance and electronic applications to develop this family of Geon HC materials, which offer superior chemical resistance to many of the strongest medical disinfectants.” In addition, Geon HC materials offer excellent flame resistance, impact resistance and flow properties. The PolyOne team works collaboratively with medical device manufacturers, offering a variety of support services, including part and mold design, manufacturing, agency approval, and other services to minimize the time and help manage the risks involved in bringing a new medical device to the market.

Special formulations for medical applications Additive Solutions for Biopolymers: Cesa™ Bio These additives are created to enhance bioplastics so you can continue delivering top-end products to the market.

The injection-moldable Versaflex™ HC 3810 series is formulated without animal derivatives and offers a wide range of durometers to serve a variety of medical device applications.   OEMs and medical molders need high-performing material solutions for use with various medical device and healthcare applications,” said Jean-Paul Scheepens, general manager, Americas, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Grades in the 60-90 Shore A durometer range can be used for IV connector caps, diagnostic testing devices, endoscopic caps, and similar applications.  

Ergonomic enhancement is playing an increasingly important role in the healthcare environment, including the design and manufacture of orthotics, prosthetics, surgical instruments, medical device housings, patient mobility and furniture. Our Versalloy™ HC Series TPVs are ideal for medical devices that are designed with long, thin flow paths, and they're highly colorable with a smooth tactile feel. In addition, a low coefficient of friction and low stiction are ideal for dynamic seals.
