Colorant Chromatics™ PEEK and PEI-Siloxane Colorants (SILTEM™ resin) and pre-colored solutions are manufactured using state-of-the-art pigment dispersion techniques that improve homogenization and color distribution during injection molding and extrusion.

They face interference from trees, windows, and even phone cases that can cause transmission issues for mobile devices. New transparent Versaflex CE 3140 TPEs are targeted at accessories such as cases for phones and other 5G mobile devices. Signal quality is critical to reaping the benefits of 5G devices.

DÜSSELDORF, Germany – October 18, 2022 – At the upcoming K 2022, Avient will feature a recent successful collaboration with a global customer and manufacturer of medical devices. However, medical devices and instruments are frequently exposed to harsh temperatures and chemicals for cleaning and disinfecting, which can diminish safety and color.   By color-coding its orthopedic devices, the customer was able to help medical professionals more easily determine which size of prosthesis would fit best for a patient.

Devices that rely on 5G are sparking innovation in industries ranging from telecommunications and consumer electronics to automotive and healthcare. The devices, in turn, rely on materials that limit signal loss at high-band 5G frequencies (mmWave). With a dielectric constant (Dk) range spanning 2.55 to 23, the materials are optimized to boost antenna efficiency and deliver lightweight solutions for 5G devices. 

In addition, the material can be overmolded on various substrates such as TPU and Nylon to allow for the creation of complex medical devices. Meanwhile, its compatibility with high-speed processing methods such as extrusion and injection molding provides additional flexibility that enables manufacturers to develop multi-material medical devices more efficiently.  Avient's Suzhou facility operates under ISO 13485 quality management system certification, complying with the leading standards in medical device manufacturing.
