However, this can negatively impact the mechanical and physical performance of medical plastics. They can be used in medical applications that include ergonomic grips, handles, gaskets, seals, IV connector caps, and diagnostic testing devices. The new range contains shades commonly used in medical devices: yellow, mid and dark grey, mid green, light and dark blue, white, and black.

In fact, ergonomic design of medical devices, diagnostics, equipment and packaging is one of the top trends in healthcare today. Vibration and noise damping: Reducing the amount of vibration or noise given off by medical equipment can enhance comfort. TPE solutions for damping include padded feet for equipment and gasketing for medical devices, as well as various types of ear plugs.

Lightweighting, density management and consistency are key drivers with extrusion and injection molding applications. Solid and liquid CFA solutions for sheet/profile extrusion Reusable concentrates significantly reduce time spent cleaning extrusion and injection molding equipment.

Extrusion, blown film production or blow molding requires high melt strength. This property makes a single SEBS/ SEPS or SBS/SIS TPE capable of being used for low shear processes extrusion) and high shear applications (thin wall injection molding). Shear rates during extrusion processing are usually in the hundreds of reciprocal seconds and shear rates during injection molding may go as high as 11,000 1/sec.

In addition, this UV laser marking technology for FEP is melt processible and cost effective compared to current PTFE tape wiring solutions for laser marking.
