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. 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. TECHNICAL BULLETIN SOLUTIONS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS EVOLVING NEEDS Determining the appropriate polymer for the job can prevent product failures, thereby reducing service calls, product returns and warranty claims for manufacturers.

Provides near-term deleveraging benefits and enables future portfolio expansion opportunities for specialty solutions NYSE: POL), a leading global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Performance Products and Solutions (PP&S) business to is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

The Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives portfolio includes antistatic additives that reduce the surface resistivity of polymers and the issues caused by electrostatic charges. Avient offers two types of Mevopur antistatic solutions: a non-migrating solution, that uses a fibril network to offer an immediate and constant effect; and a migrating solution, which offers antistatic properties through the attraction of water molecules on the surface to lower surface tension. It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.
