Rigid polymers typically used to make housings for medical devices are failing to resist these chemicals. PolyOne conducted a comparative study of polymer resistance to three common, harsh disinfectant chemistries. When this improved chemical resistance is combined with excellent melt flow, flame resistance, UV resistance, and appearance, it’s easy to see why Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials are becoming the materials of choice for rigid medical device housings.

Among the required properties were high strength and stiffness, impact resistance, moderate temperature resistance and low warpage. This material offers the stiffness and high impact performance required to support and secure multiple electronic attachments, and provides the impact and temperature resistance needed. A major German automaker has already made the switch to the new seat fastening part for a vehicle currently in production. • New material = competitive differentiator: HellermannTyton is able to set its offering apart from the competition by adding significant value, particularly lighter weight and lower system costs. • Design flexibility = fast customization: Plastic offers much greater design freedom than metal, enabling the company to quickly develop and produce variations of the seat securement part for different customers. • Lighter weight = environmental benefits: By reducing the weight of the part by approximately 50%, Bergamid resin can help automakers achieve better fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. • Excellent performance = customer satisfaction: The strength, impact resistance, low warpage and additional properties of Bergamid resin help ensure the part meets stringent OEM requirements and satisfies its customers. • Injection molding = system cost savings: Compared to metal fabrication, which requires time-consuming secondary operations, injection molded plastics can be produced as a net-shape part in a single step, boosting productivity and lowering system costs.

EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition 65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other reproductive harm). This technology also helps achieve superior grip properties, improving haptics for a better sense of touch and feel while remaining UV- resistant, chemical resistant to DEET and oils, and bio-compatible.
