LABORATORY EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER P C R W E L L P L A T E S • Very high level of TiO2 to prevent “cross-talk” between the wells during the qPCR fluorescence testing procedure • Minimized background phosphorescence caused by agglomeration of TiO2 and/or oxidized (stressed) polystyrene • Preservation of polystyrene grade properties • Change control of formulation and manufacturing process • Robust product quality from batch to batch • Developed optimally dispersed, ready-to-use white formulation that maintains adequate signal transmission, as well as minimizing “cross-talk” and background phosphorescence • Optimized the use of general purpose polystyrene (GPPS) for a good balance between melt flow and other physical properties, such as stiffness • Provided comprehensive change control of raw materials and formulation, with a robust manufacturing process and quality control under a third party ISO 13485:2016 certified QMS Mevopur Healthcare Colorants and Formulations – pre-colored solution WHY AVIENT?

PFAs which are injected into the polymer melt may be the same as CFAs (i.e. Therefore, it is important to select the fastest possible injection speed—without causing gas burn—to keep pressure on the melt front, which keeps gases solubilized in the melt. This way, an early expansion of the dissolved gas out of the melt can be avoided.

Here are a few points to consider when designing part molds for styrene-ethylene/butylenestyrene polymer based TPEs (SEBS TPEs), or styrene-butadiene-styrene polymer based TPEs (SBS TPEs): Be careful at this point; too much pressure held for too long can cause the gates to bulge.
