MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURER G U I D I N G C A T H E T E R • Ultra-soft hardness of about Shore 50A • Excellent extrusion performance, achieving a thickness of about 0.1 mm • Smooth surface • Certification for biocompatibility • Delivered an ultra-soft TPU that has good elasticity, abrasion, and tear resistance • Complied with ISO 10993 biocompatible properties • Offered onsite service to support rapid extrusion performance for the customer NEUSoft Thermoplastic Polyurethanes KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

The initial formulations are available in durometers 60 and 80 Shore A, and offer comparable performance to traditional counterparts to help customers meet application needs and reduce total carbon emissions. reSound ultra-low carbon footprint TPEs are available globally, and each PCF is location specific to more accurately support carbon neutrality efforts.

Development began after the Carbonerro team began hearing negative customer feedback about sinking aluminum shaft paddles, produced outside of the U.S. and predominantly used in the low- to mid-level market.

Device designs are changing to improve high-speed performance and network connectivity to support faster speeds, higher capacity, and lower latencies for customers.

Custom formulations can also be developed using Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants & Additives, combining colors and effects with functionality to meet specific requirements.

Cesa Stat Antistatic Additives for automotive can support customers with electrostatic decay time testing according to Standard DIN EN 61340-2-1 to speed up the development.
