Chemically Resistant Polymers for Next Generation Devices Preventing environmental stress cracking in consumer and healthcare applications 2© 2021 Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 INTRODUCTION Recent epidemics and pandemics such as SARS, Ebola, and COVID-19 have highlighted the importance of cleaning and disinfection for reducing disease transmission in our highly interconnected world. HAIs constitute a significant burden (approximately 28-45 billion USD) to the U.S. healthcare system and affect 1.7 million patients annually.1,2 However, heavy chemical exposure to devices and other equipment that often contain various plastic components poses an additional challenge—many of the materials being used today are not designed to withstand such routine cleaning or the wide variety of disinfectants employed. In this study, Avient’s Trilliant™ HC8900 and Edgetek™ ET8900 thermoplastics were tested alongside competitive materials used for various medical and consumer device enclosures.

Our continued investment in designing innovative materials specifically for the audio device industry demonstrates our commitment to the success of our customers in this space.”  

Avient will also exhibit its robust portfolio of healthcare materials, including: •    Distribution offerings including PP, PC and TPVs for medical labware, diagnostic kits, and diagnostic devices •    Customized high temperature materials for medical and/or food contact applications which meet ISO10993 biocompatibility and FDA requirements •    Low-retention additives and electrically conductive formulations for pipette tips

Applications for ElectriPlast include: Shielding Wire, Power Electronics, Connectors, and Cables; Shielding, Conduction, Batteries, Heated Elements, Sensors, Antennas, Medical Devices, Consumer Electronics and Acoustics, Fuses, Capacitors, Bi-Polar Plates,  Resistors,  Bus bars, ESD, Static Dissipation and Terminals.

This certification, in conjunction with the facility’s existing ISO 22000-certified Food Safety Management System and ISO 13485-certified Quality Management System for medical devices, also positions the Chin Bee site to meet stringent hygiene and regulatory requirements for products for mothers and children, food-contact packaging, and the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
