When a chemical stress cracking agent diffuses into a polymer network it can increase the chain mobility and free volume of the system. MATERIAL BRIEF DESCRIPTION FR PC/ABS Flame retardant, chemical resistance, high ESCR FR PC/PET Flame retardant, impact modified, chemical resistant FR PC/PBT Skin-contact biocompatible, flame retardant, high chemical resistance FR Copolyester Flame retardant, chemical resistant, may incorporate agency-rated materials to meet USP Class VI or ISO 10993 requirements Trilliant™ HC8910 Unfilled PK blend, BPA-free, high chemical resistance, may incorporate agency-rated materials to meet USP Class VI or ISO 10993 requirements Trilliant™ HC8920 FR Non-halogenated flame retardant PK blend, BPA-free, high chemical resistance, may incorporate agency rated materials to meet USP Class VI or ISO 10993 requirements Edgetek™ ET8900 CR Unfilled PK blend, high chemical resistance Edgetek™ ET8900 HI CR High impact PK blend, high chemical resistance Edgetek™ ET8920 FR CR Non-halogenated flame retardant PK blend, high chemical resistance Table 2. Their outstanding chemical resistance can be attributed to the crystallinity and limited solubility of PK.

Whether you are using color for functional or aesthetic purposes, careful consideration of each of the following points will prove valuable in your color selection and implementation: • Is your color formulation and polymer fully compatible and optimized for your production process? To ensure you have a formulation that will perform to its maximum effect, your liquid colorant should: • maintain consistent particulate dispersion and remain fully stable during storage, dispensing and processing • be engineered to be fully compatible with your particular polymer and production process set-up • be fully supported with dispensing equipment and expert technical services INTELLIGENT FORMULATION In addition, advances in liquid carrier vehicle systems mean that today liquid colorants can be highly engineered to ensure compatibility with an increasing range of polymer types. Support services include: • New product trial support • On-site product and equipment training programs • Issue troubleshooting • Best practice production process and maintenance reviews • Equipment selection guidance • Process reporting • Inventory management support • Equipment housekeeping There are extensive requirements governing polymer based products, from chemical legislation imposing requirements on the manufacture, marketing and use of the initial raw materials to compositional and good manufacturing practice requirements for the finished materials.
