MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT CRACKING AND CRAZING Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing disinfectant-related failures DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE ON POLYMER HOUSINGS Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital- acquired infections can damage equipment and result in material failures, such as: • Stress cracking • Crazing • Discoloration CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS VARY BY ENVIRONMENT • Patient/exam rooms • Operating and radiology rooms • Reception areas • Home (patient equipment & devices) Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip the performance of traditional polymers. When it comes to material selection and options, you need a strong partner that understands both polymers and the demands of the healthcare environment. After three days of exposure to the hospital disinfectants, a 20x magnified image was taken of each set of bars to demonstrate the effect of the chemical. 

Avient’s portfolio of colorants and additives, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and specialty engineered polymers helps customers meet performance demands, comply with medical and pharmaceutical regulations, and accelerate speed to market. Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions: color and additive concentrates based on polymers with 70-95% bio-content and pre-tested raw materials to help reduce carbon footprint and mitigate risk, available in pre-colored formulations, offer a sustainable drop-in replacement for fossil-based grades and can be processed and recycled in the same channels.  TPEs and specialty engineered polymers for auto-injector pens: offer excellent chemical and impact resistance, good self-lubrication functions, durability to extend product life and meet biocompatibility and food-contact safety regulations.

CycleWorks can develop recycling-friendly product solutions to increase the recyclability of plastic products and, by understanding the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process, can provide data to help develop new and unique polymer formulations. Some key issues with PCR include degraded mechanical properties, inconsistent and gray coloration, unpleasant odors, or missing food contact approvals. A dedicated team is able to scientifically investigate details of the recycling process, understand the degradation and behavior of polymers, and develop the right additive and color masterbatches to increase the performance of PCRs and guarantee high recyclability of the final article.
