Thermoplastic polyurethanes from Biomerics are used in a variety of medical device applications such as vascular access catheters, introducers, drainage catheters, interventional radiology devices, fluid management, coatings, balloons and wound care. Biomerics, LLC is an innovative medical polymer solution provider to the medical device market. Biomerics specializes in biomedical materials, compounding, injection molding, extrusion, coating, and medical device fabrication.

The wheel forks utilize a long carbon fiber-reinforced nylon 6/6 composite, while the wheel hub comprises long carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane. Avient engineers also formulated the reinforced polyurethane to chemically bond seamlessly with the urethane used for the outer rolling surface of the wheel.

DISPERSED PIGMENTS DISPERSIONS FOR PTFE COLORING Dispersed pigments for coloring PTFE are created to add color to PTFE parts manufactured by the PTFE fine powder paste extrusion process. Extrusion of colored PTFE insulation is done by incorporation of dispersed pigments in these same lubricants. PTFE 2.
