DISPERSED
PIGMENTS
DISPERSIONS FOR PTFE COLORING
Dispersed pigments for coloring PTFE are created to
add color to PTFE parts manufactured by the PTFE
fine powder paste extrusion process.
Extrusion of colored PTFE
insulation is done by incorporation of dispersed
pigments in these same lubricants.

In this
study, a variety of plastic substrates (30 unique polymer compounds), including
poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene), poly(butylene terephthalate),
poly(etherimide), various thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), poly(carbonates), and
poly(amides), were screened for susceptibility to microbial attack using American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese
Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial suscep-
tibility) test standards.
Without proper engineering controls,
this would challenge the applicability for TPEs under
normal thermal processing conditions for extrusion and
molding.
Control samples (top row) are shown for comparison to samples post-incubation and washing (bottom row)

Avient Unveils New Cesa™ Withstand™ Antimicrobial Additives for TPU Film in Medical and Outdoor Applications
These new grades are developed to enhance the performance of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film-laminated products and devices in applications where combating microbe development is highly important.
The two new available grades of Cesa Withstand for TPU film can meet the specific anti-bacterial and anti-mold protection needs of medical beds, transparent tent components, and ice bags.

Roy Plunkett accidentally created polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
Most fluoropolymers, other than PTFE and polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), can be melt processed using conventional thermoplastic extrusion or molding techniques.
