Geon HC 8200 series is formulated for improved chemical resistance to withstand repeated exposure to powerful disinfectants, which are increasingly used in the fight against healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), helping device manufacturers to reduce service calls, warranty claims and product returns. Some medical device manufacturers are experiencing a sharp rise in field failures as device housings develop stress cracks from frequent exposure to chemical disinfectants,” said James Stephenson, director, global marketing, PolyOne Geon Performance Materials. 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.

These metrics can be focused on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the value chain, reducing waste-to-landfill, and increasing renewable energy consumption.   Environment issues: typically involve the most relevant topics, such as product carbon footprint, waste management, and energy consumption.  Incorporating renewable sources for means of power and electricity.
