MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY
LubriOne™ polymers offer greater design freedom
compared to metal and improved manufacturing
efficiency.
With only one machine required for
production of a plastic gear, these formulations can
reduce manufacturing steps, processing time and
material costs.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Mevopur Healthcare Functional Additives for Bormed Resins Application Bulletin.pdf
They are adapted to
your manufacturing process and available as either
a ‘ready-to-use’ formulation or a concentrate that
is diluted in the Bormed™ resin of choice.
It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including
the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.
