Newly Expanded Manufacturing of NEU™ Custom Capabilities and NEUSoft™ Thermoplastics Polyurethanes for catheter applications: now produced in Suzhou, China, offering customized services and rapid response times to customers from Asia Pacific, a series of ultra-soft TPUs for short-term in-vivo applications that are available in custom colors with excellent ultraviolet (UV) stability and barrier properties, offer good elasticity, resistance to abrasions and tears, barrier properties, and melt strength for use in a host of catheter applications, including cardiovascular, intravenous, and other specialty segments . Versaflex™ HC & Versaflex™ HC BIO BT Series TPEs: grades formulated specifically to handle the complexities of healthcare and biopharmaceutical tubing, including excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low extractables, delivering comparable performance to competing materials such as silicone and PVC tubing, while providing lower Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) values than other materials* The Versaflex HC BIO BT218 grade is formulated with 40% bio-derived content and provides a sustainable substitute for traditional materials. TPEs and specialty engineered polymers for auto-injector pens: offer excellent chemical and impact resistance, good self-lubrication functions, durability to extend product life and meet biocompatibility and food-contact safety regulations.

There are a variety of Avient TPEs designed to have excellent adhesion to a number of rigid plastic substrates for overmolding. Versollan™ OM 1200 Series – Excellent bond strength

Excellent spinnability and lot-to-lot consistency Excellent color fastness (light, washing, heat, rubbing, etc.)

These specialty PK formulations combine excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance to meet the challenges of harsh applications, such as those found in chemical, fuel contact, or high-moisture environments. These materials provide exceptional chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, excellent dimensional stability, and high impact and wear resistance.

Particularly amenable to industrial applications, these TPEs provide excellent chemical and oil resistance, rubbery grip with matte finish, and are easily overmolded onto PC, ABS and PC / ABS in thin wall flow paths. Versollan™ Thermoplastic Elastomers achieved excellent adhesion and improved aesthetics and usability for compartment cover

One of the key advantages of ECCOH XL 8054 is its excellent processability due to its ability to meet the Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (CEI) EN 50363-0:2015 standards, namely G17 and G18, and adhere to the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) for enhanced fire safety. ECCOH XL 8054 also excels in mechanical properties, with high elongation at break and outstanding performance in the Hot Set Test at 250°C.
