Edgetek 3D/LDS solutions are advanced technologies to help customers to build 3D circuits on molded part surfaces, which are widely used for consumer electronics, automotive components, medical devices, and 5G base stations. Combining function and performance, this technology provides ample opportunity to support the exponential growth of 5G technology, including the construction of infrastructure and related future applications.

To help, this article provides a high-level overview of the differences in three essential categories: design, production, and performance. Generally, it will be more challenging to use environmentally conscious TPEs in products with stringent regulatory requirements, like infant care (i.e., pacifiers, baby bottle nipples, etc.) and medical applications (i.e., catheters, syringe seals, respiratory masks, etc.).

Transcend™ Bio-compatible Premier Healthcare Colorants are vibrant, high-temperature colorants and pre-colorants formulated to provide ultra-high-heat resistance and performance. Intended specifically for medical applications, they are now available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) in a range of vivid opaque and transparent colors. Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT) provides specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.

They provide specific mechanical, functional and surface properties to meet high performance and regulatory requirements. At higher addition levels they also have a hydrophilic effect, which is particulary recommended for medical gowns. The concentrates provide the same breathability as post-treated fabrics with no influence on tenacity and provide abrasion resistance.

Rubber Colorant Dispersions Provide optimal dispersion and lot-to-lot consistency to promote durability and ease of handling for medical devices and tools. Urethane Colorant Dispersions Streamline production and enhance quality to provide versatility for polyester and polyether urethane systems used in medical device applications. Laser Marking Additives for Silicone Provide a non-destructive, permanent marking and eliminate the need for secondary etching on silicone surfaces in medical equipment cables and grips.
