With a dielectric constant (Dk) range spanning 2.55 to 23, these materials are optimized to boost antenna efficiency and deliver lightweight solutions for 5G infrastructure and devices. Ideal applications include antennas, base stations, resonators, lenses, automotive radar, IoT (Internet of Things) devices, and service providers’ equipment that directly serves end-users, such as routers and modems.

Because this material is injection-moldable, you can add more electronics inside the housing and even reduce the device’s overall footprint. Adding electronics, minimizing footprint – Using Therma-Tech material for your housing allows you to add more electronics without concerns of excess heat impacting device functionality.

APPLICATIONS • Construction: roofing underlay, cable wrapping, geotextiles • Medical: surgical gowns, surgical drapes, sterile tray wraps, hospital bed sheets, and curtains • Filtration: various filters that require water repellency BENEFITS • Fast and long-lasting water repellency • IPA repellency grade 6 • No visible influence on the final color of the nonwoven fabric • Can be combined with color into a single product for convenience • Regulatory compliance to key standards and support for specific standards PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

This can be achieved by tumble mixing or by the use of concentrate metering devices. MEDICAL, FOOD AND TOY REGULATIONS Omnicolor colorants have limited EU food contact compliance, and are not suitable for FDA primary pharmaceutical packaging, cosmetic or medical applications.

Omnicolor colorants are not suitable for any food contact, cosmetic, medical, pharmaceutical or toy applications.

Initial applications for OnCap Light Shield additives include disposable medical infusion sets, pharmaceutical packaging, pre-filled syringes, film packaging, bottles, and food storage sheet and film.

PolyOne developed an ultra-soft version of its GLS™ TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) approved for food contact and medical applications, and included non-toxic PolyOne colorants. 

They are suitable for a wide variety of markets and applications, including: • Lawn and garden equipment • Tools and hardware • Consumer disposables • Sports/shooting sports Omnicolor is not suitable for FDA primary pharmaceutical packaging, cosmetic or medical applications, and may have limited food contact compliance.

CHEMICAL RESISTANT TPEs ADD FUNCTIONALITY THAT BRINGS VALUE TO CONSUMERS • Chemical Resistance – Resists aggressive soaps, detergents, lotions, oils and solvents found in cosmetic, personal care and household products • Regulatory* – Compositionally compliant with certain FDA and REACH regulations • Value – Economical alternative to silicone and over-engineered medical grade TPEs • Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and overmolded right onto the substrate including PP, ABS, etc

The advantages of PREPERM materials relate to more efficient data transfer (antennas, mobile base stations, satellite communication), better sensitivity (GPS, radars, radomes) and longer battery life (mobile and IoT devices).
