Since polymers interact differently with laser energy, making them more or less suitable for laser welding, special polymer solutions can be used to enhance a polymer’s ability to interact with the laser energy and achieve a good weld. Avient uses a “systems approach” to develop the laser welding solution most adapted to your project, taking into consideration the following aspects: • Transmitting and absorbing parts • Polymer type and grade • Dispersion of the additive in the final part • Sufficient and consistent loading of the additive • Part design: attention to flow separation at the welding interface • Color and opacitiy • Quality control – e.g. establish suitable control parameters (UV Visible Spectra) • Laser wavelength and processing parameter Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives formulated for laser welding are designed for use in healthcare applications. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Manufactured at four ISO 13485 certified sites, providing global consistency and increased security of supply • Documented change control beyond CAS number, reducing risk of change • Available as additive concentrates, ready-to-use additive formulations or ready-to-use additive/ colorant formulations for different polymers REGULATORY SUPPORT • Raw materials tested to: - ISO 10993-1 and USP biological evaluation - European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3/3.1.5 (polyolefin) - USP (polyethylene) - ICH Q3D elemental impurities • Registered Drug Master File (Type III) and/or Device Master File • Food contact established with FDA/EU* APPLICATION BULLETIN * FDA/EU compliance information available upon request; exceptions may occur Healthcare use limitations apply—see below.

In further testing, scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the polymer-to-titanium bond. AxioMed’s breakthrough idea involves placing two titanium plates on either side of a polymer core. Kuras said, “Working with PDI’s PhD scientists gives us access to an exceptional knowledge of polymers.

NYLON SOLUTIONS ENGINEERED THERMOPLASTICS PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Nylon (polyamide - PA) solutions from Avient include both prime Nymax™/Bergamid™ Polymer Formulations and Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations. Based on nylon 6 (PA6) and nylon 66 (PA66) polymers, these materials combine high temperature performance with exceptional strength and durability. NYMAX/BERGAMID PRIME NYLON GRADES The Nymax/Bergamid series of PA6 and PA66 polymers are designed to meet critical performance requirements for demanding applications.

Unlike surface treatments, they are blended into the polymer during the spin-dyeing process and are more resistant to washing and wearing off. Organic antimicrobials consist of substances that migrate within the polymer matrix, spreading over the surface of the materials where their antimicrobial action has effect. Inorganic antimicrobials incorporate substances containing silver in ionic form, bound to inorganic compounds that regulate the diffusion of ions within the polymer mass.

CESA™ Light Additives Light Stability PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Exposure to the sun, heat, and oxygen through outdoor exposure causes the degradation of the polymer, resulting in yellowing, loss of melt strength, and loss of mechanical properties in most resins. One method is through the use of stabilizers that react with radicals created from UV exposure, inhibiting polymer degradation. Many CESA Light products include CESA Nox additives, which also aids in polymer protection. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

It permits black polymers to be detected by near infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling recycling. Automatic sorting equipment relies on the reflectance of NIR wavelengths to identify polymers and properly sort packaging waste by plastic material. By using OnColor IR Sortable Black, black polymers will be detectable by NIR sorting equipment, allowing packaging to be sorted and sent for recycling instead of landfill or incineration, which is a key requirement in the circular economy system.
