Versaflex™ & Versalloy™ Specialty Engineered Materials Thermoplastic Elastomers for Healthcare Applications Delivering specialized thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solutions for demanding healthcare applications, Avient has performance-grade materials that are approved for USP VI, ISO 10993-4 and 10993-5. Common healthcare applications include medical tubing, gaskets and stoppers, bags, bottles and films, grips, handles and medical devices. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

In the medical industry, plastics are used for a vast array of devices and equipment, including blood and intravenous bags, medical tubing, catheters, lead replacement for radiation shielding, clamps and connectors to bed frames, curtains and sheeting, electronic enclosures and equipment housings. Valuation allowances are established when realization of the benefit of deferred tax assets is not deemed to be more likely than not. During our qualitative approach, we assess whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

Our waste management approach adds value by reducing the risk of environmental harm, as well as costs associated with waste management. The majority of our waste is non-hazardous process scrap and purge materials. Waste minimization plans are impacted by several factors, including raw materials utilized, materials produced, manufacturing process, and location.

Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. In effect, the surface energy is changed to allow a fluid to ‘roll off’ the polymer material. By increasing droplet contact angles, fluids are more easily repelled or evacuated from a container.

The materials used for laser welding must allow a minimum 20% transmission rate for laser energy. To further support customers, Avient offers a range of value-added services and is ready to collaborate on part design, material compatibility evaluations, laser welding process selection and more to drive success. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
