Geon HC 8200 series is formulated for improved chemical resistance to withstand repeated exposure to powerful disinfectants, which are increasingly used in the fight against healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), helping device manufacturers to reduce service calls, warranty claims and product returns. Some medical device manufacturers are experiencing a sharp rise in field failures as device housings develop stress cracks from frequent exposure to chemical disinfectants,” said James Stephenson, director, global marketing, PolyOne Geon Performance Materials. We used our expertise in formulating innovative materials for demanding appliance and electronic applications to develop this family of Geon HC materials, which offer superior chemical resistance to many of the strongest medical disinfectants.”

Charging stations can be protected from harsh outdoor environments and daily wear-and-tear by using various solutions, including UV protection, chemical resistance, scratch and mar resistance, or impact modification. These types of additives can help the polymer surface withstand extreme temperatures, wind, sunlight, exposure to chemical cleaning products, or surface damage from excessive handling. Chemical foaming agents are successfully used in plastics to cut weight from parts without compromising mechanical properties.
