Packages can be supplied on colored, embossed and/or slit tubes. They also add important characteristics, such as SWELLCOAT® water-blocking, water repellence, adhe- sion, color, and wear and UV-resistance to these and many other applications.

Trilliant™ HC high performance formulations were developed for specific healthcare enclosure needs, including: • Chemical resistance to common disinfectants • UL 94 ratings of 5VA at 3.0, V-0 at 1.5 mm & V-1 at 0.75 mm • Retained color aesthetics after chemical exposure • Ability to utilize existing PC/PET & COPE tooling Tested using an adaptation from ASTM D543 for environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR), 15 bars of each material were placed into jigs at 1% and 2% strain. Versaflex HC grades provide: • Resistance to common disinfectants • Excellent bonding to Trilliant HC materials and other engineering thermoplastics • Customization to achieve desired haptics and color branding A BINDING CONNECTION With Avient, you can redesign your medical enclosure substrate and improve the ergonomics, comfort and ease of use with overmolded TPEs.

PolyOne proudly accepted this challenge and collaborated with the nonprofit's founder, Kevin White, to design a simple and effective device specially designed for use in under-resourced communities. Together, the PolyOne team worked on industrial design, ergonomics, manufacturability, and material selection for the device, together with White and toolmaker/molder Alpha Tool and Mold, a longtime PolyOne customer. I first started working on this problem more than 14 years ago when on international missions in the Marine Corps,” said Kevin White, executive director, Global Vision 2020 and inventor of the USee device.
