TECHNICAL BULLETIN ColorMatrix™ Joule™ RHB Fast Reheat Dispersions Handling and Usage ColorMatrix™ Joule™ dispersion fast reheat products are intended for use in PET (bottle polymer) production processes in the manufacturing of CSD 0.82IV reheat polymers and are used successfully throughout the world on all types of PET production technologies. On occasion, Joule RHB products can also be used in bottle polymer destined for water applications, but this usage decision depends on the application tolerance to color which must be determined via marketing specialists prior to any trials. The additive is not soluble in MEG, but is very thermally heat stable and at the low ppm addition levels commonly used has no measurable impact on the polymer process other than that coming from the blue tint introduced into the polymer.

CESA™ Nox Additives Stabilization PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Exposure to heat, shear and oxygen during processing causes the creation of free radicals from the polymer. These free radicals rapidly react with other polymer chains, propagating the degradation of the polymer and resulting in yellowing, black specks, loss of melt strength, and mechanical properties in most resins. CESA™ Nox additives target the free radicals, terminating the oxidation reactions and preserving the polymer properties through one or more processing steps or cycles, including recycling.

CESA™ Slip Additives Lubrication PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Many polymer processing operations need lubrication to improve the process flow and/or part. They act as plasticizers to improve the flow of the polymer through the process (extrusion, injection molding, extrusion blow molding, etc), reducing the heat and energy needed.

MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT CRACKING AND CRAZING Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing disinfectant-related failures DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE ON POLYMER HOUSINGS Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital- acquired infections can damage equipment and result in material failures, such as: • Stress cracking • Crazing • Discoloration CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS VARY BY ENVIRONMENT • Patient/exam rooms • Operating and radiology rooms • Reception areas • Home (patient equipment & devices) Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip the performance of traditional polymers. When it comes to material selection and options, you need a strong partner that understands both polymers and the demands of the healthcare environment. An independent lab tested the following polymers with various disinfectants to help customers choose the material suitable to their specific application requirements.
