Medical Hoses - Case Study Versalloy formulation boosts productivity for medical hose manufacturer Color and Additives Solutions Overview

A leading North American medical contact manufacturer faced a challenge when molding the gasket for a contact lens container.  Because low durometer (softer) material is a requirement for this application, the manufacturer considered a switch to a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). But even if it could find the right TPE, the company was concerned about the additional cost of new tooling, and wanted to achieve a rapid return on its investment.

Too often, however, the laser-sensitive pigments and colors incorporated into the polymers selected for these applications cannot keep pace with the higher machine speeds, leading to poor legibility and contrast.  Laser marking is a well-established technology for wire & cable, packaging, medical devices, and automotive components. In practice, a laser beam activates a laser-sensitive additive embedded in the polymer.
