MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT CRACKING AND CRAZING Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing disinfectant-related failures DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE ON POLYMER HOUSINGS Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital- acquired infections can damage equipment and result in material failures, such as: • Stress cracking • Crazing • Discoloration CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS VARY BY ENVIRONMENT • Patient/exam rooms • Operating and radiology rooms • Reception areas • Home (patient equipment & devices) Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip the performance of traditional polymers. Additionally, the wide variability of environments that medical devices might see, which can range from home to hospital, mean devices must be able to withstand varying disinfectant strengths, exposure levels and frequencies. Whether you are designing for a medical device housing or a surgical device in the operating room, we offer solutions to meet a wide variety of performance specifications and application needs.

There is significant momentum in the textile manufacturing industry toward developing sustainable solutions across the entire supply chain,” explains John Van Hulle, President, Global Color Additives and Inks, PolyOne. Further, several injection points can be added to run multiple colors or additives at the same time on a single extruder to enhance flexibility. In addition, these new solutions allow standard white polyester fiber producers with reactor spinning lines to produce colored products in-line, eliminating the need for a secondary aqueous dyeing process.        

The solution enables industry players to incorporate higher quantities of PCR in polyolefin applications, promoting circularity and sustainability.   In 2023, Avient’s Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service and Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling were both featured in the Product Technology Innovation of the Year category, with the Color Prediction Service winning the overall award.    Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports
