In fact, ergonomic design of medical devices, diagnostics, equipment and packaging is one of the top trends in healthcare today. Vibration and noise damping: Reducing the amount of vibration or noise given off by medical equipment can enhance comfort. TPE solutions for damping include padded feet for equipment and gasketing for medical devices, as well as various types of ear plugs.

Homepage // News Center // Avient Launches New Recycled-Content Thermoplastic Elastomers and Metallic Effect Sulfone Solutions at Fakuma 2024 NEW Colorant Chromatics™ Metallic Effect Pre-Colored Sulfone Formulations: new pre-colored sulfone solutions with metallic effects, including gold, bronze, and silver, developed to emulate finishes that use metal without the weight and secondary processing but have the benefits of sulfone polymers, including ultra-high temperature and chemical resistance. They support compliance with regulatory standards without compromising performance and provide an alternative to brominated polymers for applications such as housings for appliances.  

Using FDA-regulated raw materials, the formulations are suitable for applications including medical and surgical devices, toys, and food contact products.

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.

Electret additives help retain the electrostatic charge on the polymer surface for for longer periods of time. Recommended use: all air filtration applications SOFT TOUCH Cesa™ soft touch solutions provide a soft touch feel to nonwoven fabrics which come into contact with skin. Solutions that promote UV stability, in order to retain flame retardancy efficacy after sun exposure, are also available.
