With a long and proven history of safe and effective use in medical applications, vinyl plastisols are some of the most often selected and versatile polymers in the healthcare market. The gold standard for enhancing polymer performance in medical applications. Standard and custom color solutions for today’s complex medical applications

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: This is required to allow medical and dental equipment to be disinfected, and to improve the durability of components used in the chemical processing industries. RADIATION RESISTANCE: This property is needed for some medical sterilization techniques and also for components used in nuclear power plants. PROCESSING OPTIONS Additive Manufacturing Many companies are producing 3D printed parts from high-performance polymers for specialized aerospace, medical and industrial applications.

ColorMatrix™ Fiber Colorant Solutions feature a breakthrough liquid melt extrusion spin coloring technology for polyester fiber. Liquid melt-extrusion color permits late-stage color injection, reducing waste and changeover times in the manufacturing process, and offering producers the flexibility to create as little as 50kg of fiber within the same simple process.

Co-extrusion protective film can also help producers achieve their sustainability goals,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Compared to current solvent-based coating technology, co-extrusion film has significantly reduced volatile organic compound emissions (VOCs) and helps reduce energy consumption and emissions by eliminating secondary coating and drying operations.

However, for synthetic fibers manufactured by an extrusion process, such as polyester, polyamide, and polypropylene, there is another technology that uses no water and less energy than classic bath-dyeing: spin-dyeing. The colorant is in the form of concentrate pellets added to the polymer pellets during the extrusion and melting process.
