One change was to deliver the raw material in round, underwater-cut pellets rather than the square pellets provided by the other material source. New tooling was also being developed at the time, and the team was able to provide design input that minimized mold shrinkage during production. Overall, cost performance for the new material was 40 percent better than for other competitive materials – a level of value the supplier didn’t anticipate when merely seeking another source for a commodity raw material.

Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture. Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Gates • Many different types of gates can be used such as pin, fan, tunnel, tab and edge gates. Runners • Full-round runners or a modified trapezoid runner are the best designs. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

They are based on management’s expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions where we conduct business; • Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; • Information systems failures and cyber attacks; and • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

The objective was to design a visually pleasing light source, while improving the flexibility and efficiency of its own production process. Sourcing materials from overseas made the company vulnerable to quality inconsistencies and long lead times. This saved the customer over $25,000 in annual material costs in addition to resolving its toughest design challenges.

Whether you are designing for a medical device housing or a surgical device in the operating room, we offer solutions to meet a wide variety of performance specifications and application needs. TECHNICAL BULLETIN SOLUTIONS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS EVOLVING NEEDS Determining the appropriate polymer for the job can prevent product failures, thereby reducing service calls, product returns and warranty claims for manufacturers. TEST METHOD Fifteen bars of each material were placed into jigs at 1% and 2% strain.

The new panels are currently available through Composites One, a leading materials distributor to the marine industry. This configuration brings unique characteristics such as improved bondability to various surfaces, enabling thermal lamination to different materials and finishes for increased design flexibility compared with traditional assembly methods.
