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. 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. This simplifies the process concerns during trials and subsequent normal stable running conditions, enables optimization of levels per application/polymer type if required and should achieve proper downstream product performance

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.

Cesa™ Fiber Tracer Concentrates are polymer solutions that include a taggant, unique to the customer/product line, which is incorporated into the fibers during the spin-dyeing process. Fiber producers can also add the tracer concentate to shredded waste polyester and polyamide, and convert them together into polymer pellets. APPLICATIONS Cesa Fiber Tracer Concentrates are particularly recommended for apparel, sportswear, and home textiles to support brand ownership and labels such as those for recycled content, “made in”, and bio-polymer content.

These diverse formulations can be customized with various additives to meet a broad range of performance requirements. They can also be matched to any color, and can be formulated and certified for end-use automotive, FDA, UL, ASTM, NSF, military or customer-specific applications. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Vinyl powders in high performing, versatile formulations • A balance of fusion characteristics and physical properties • Customizable with additives such as heat or light stabilizers, flame retardants or blowing agents • Matched to any color and to varied processing and performance requirements • VBX Series vinyl powders formulated to automotive OEM needs MARKET AND APPLICATIONS CORE™ Vinyl Powder formulations offer endless utility for nearly every consumer market.
