This includes technologies for lightweighting, colorants for secondary paint replacement, and bio-polymers. Made from renewable sources, materials like reSound™ BIO formulations help reduce carbon footprint and can perform like traditional TPEs. Experts from Avient will be on hand at booth #24 throughout the conference to help customers better understand novel sustainable performance materials, including specialized polymer colorants, functional additives, and engineered material formulations. 

Back Home // Products // Polymer Additives // Visual Enhancement Effects // Cesa™ Mat Additives Cesa™ Mat masterbatch are added to polymers to modify surface properties to reduce gloss and develop a matte or frost-like effect in PET polyester sheet and bottles, polyolefin films and other products.

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.
