Complēt™ long fiber reinforced structural thermoplastics and OnForce™ long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composites utilize carbon, glass, or specialty fibers in a broad range of thermoplastic polymers to optimize material performance to your application requirements. Pyrolysis removes the matrix polymer of injection-molded specimens to reveal the different internal fiber structure of long glass fiber and short glass fiber parts. With appropriate material selection and part design optimization, long carbon fiber materials can reduce the weight of components up to 50% compared to aluminum.

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. 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.

Avient will also showcase its sustainable portfolio of polymer colorants, additives, and services at the conference. Avient Corporation provides specialized and sustainable materials solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Cesa™ Unify™ A4R Polyolefin Compatibilizer for Enhanced Recycling RECYCLED MATERIAL IN A CHANGING MARKET Legislation globally is driving change towards increased quantities of post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials, further encouraged by the implementation of usage targets and new tariffs. It works by bringing incompatible polymers – such as PP and PE – together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Take a comprehensive look at the performance and sustainability benefits of this next-gen material solution. Engineered Polymer Services Polyketone material characteristics and benefits

Historically, plywood and other materials have been used as structural panels across a variety of industries. However, as sustainability initiatives grow and designs become increasingly complex, new material alternatives are needed. They are custom engineered to meet specific performance requirements: core thickness can be varied to change stiffness, core materials can be selected to achieve weight targets, fiber choice can modify stiffness-to-weight ratio, and the polymer matrix choice affects strength.

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.
