Avient uses a “systems approach” to develop the
laser welding solution most adapted to your project,
taking into consideration the following aspects:
• Transmitting and absorbing parts
• Polymer type and grade
• Dispersion of the additive in the final part
• Sufficient and consistent loading of the additive
• Part design: attention to flow separation at the
welding interface
• Color and opacitiy
• Quality control – e.g. establish suitable control
parameters (UV Visible Spectra)
• Laser wavelength and processing parameter
Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives
formulated for laser welding are designed for use
in healthcare applications.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-08/2022 Glasforms EC Application _ Product Selection Guide.pdf
Performance advantages:
• Non-conductive: formulations engineered
to optimize composite dielectric properties
• Lightweight: up to 80% lighter than porcelain,
reducing installation time and cost
• High strength: high tensile, compressive,
flexural and inter-laminar shear strength
to support various design configurations
and line loads
• Flexible: deflect and return to original shape
for load dampening to minimize damages
and outages
• Durable and shatter resistant vs. ceramic
and glass, and UV and corrosion resistant
for long service life
