This technology enhances the ability of clinicians to make visual confirmation of fluid flow and can allow for detection of potentially harmful air bubbles that might cause embolisms, while patients can experience greater comfort via use of a single catheter. Manufacturers of catheters can benefit through increased production efficiency by eliminating a need for co-extrusion, which is typically required to manufacture striped catheters, as well as reducing material usage and complexity. Catheter manufacturers can now offer a commercially viable product that provides excellent visibility, both optically and under X-ray, enabling performance improvements and efficiencies in the healthcare field.”

For manufacturers, this development means they can increase production rates while also maintaining the excellent quality of their laser marking. It is non-contact, abrasion resistant, permanent, and can be integrated into continuous production lines.  We encourage manufacturers to collaborate with our laser marking experts to ensure that marking and contrast can be optimized for each color and polymer.”

Carbon fiber filaments can be woven to form a fabric or take permanent shape as a composite material when combined with a resin. Carbon fiber can also be chopped or utilized as a reinforcement for long fiber thermoplastic (LFT) composites depending on the application need. Carbon fiber composites can be found in consumer goods, like archery bow limbs and sail battens.

Copolyester overmolding can be achieved with several different solutions. PE overmolding can be achieved with our Dynalloy™ OBC 8000 T grades. PS overmolding can be achieved with our Dynaflex™ D series and our universal overmold.

These formulations can help increase the mechanical strength properties of injection molded parts with increased flex modulus. The conductive nature of the carbon fibers means these formulations can add conductivity and static dissipation performance.
