The device housing features Resilience™ HC, a rigid vinyl formulation designed to resist stress cracking from exposure to a wide range of hospital disinfectants.  They gave us immediate access to material, engineering, and processing expertise, making our converter comfortable with molding rigid vinyl. Our highly experienced team provides an integrated approach – expertly guiding both OEMs and converters and helping them implement vinyl to add value and boost performance.”

CHICAGO – May 8, 2018 – At Lightfair, the world’s largest architectural and commercial lighting trade show, PolyOne today unveiled two new rigid vinyl grades for LED lens applications within its Resilience™ LS family. PolyOne’s formulated rigid vinyl, with inherent properties of durability, flame retardance and impact resistance, is an effective and efficient choice for many LED applications,” said Jim Mattey, global marketing director, Performance Products & Solutions for PolyOne. The Resilience LS family of rigid vinyl polymers includes a full range of materials for LED luminaires, including lenses, housings, and reflectors.

CLEVELAND – Consumer, healthcare, transportation and building products manufacturers now have a high-performance material that offers excellent performance and sustainability in one, cost-effective, vinyl-based material package. Customers benefit as this plant-based, truly non-phthalate flexible vinyl performs at levels equal to or better than materials containing traditional petroleum-based plasticizers.” Compared to other flexible vinyls, Geon BIO materials feature a wider processing window and enhanced thermal stability, which may improve manufacturing efficiency to deliver reduced production costs.

They are tightly held within the vinyl and have low volatility, so they do not readily evaporate. PHTHALATES FACTS PHTHALATES ARE KNOWN TO BREAK DOWN IN THE HUMAN BODY Research has shown that after entering the body, phthalate are broken down into metabolites within minutes and pass out quickly in urine.2 PHTHALATE EXPOSURE IS CONSIDERED LOW Despite the fact that phthalates are used in a wide range of products, human exposure from all sources is considered to be extremely low.2 PHTHALATES ARE A USEFUL CHOICE FOR HEALTHCARE Flexible vinyl tubing does not react with most medications, allowing for reliable administration of drugs, while flexible vinyl bags prevent blood contamination and extend shelf life of the blood.3 PHTHALATES ARE REGULATED Based on earlier studies, a few specific phthalates have been banned for use in toys or other items for sale to children under twelve to reduce risk of overexposure through hand-to- mouth behaviors. 1 Source: chemicalsafetyfacts.org 2 Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 3 Source: thisisplastics.com www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.
