Q2: How does GHS affect PolyOne?
Formulations that are not classified as hazardous
under either will have minimal changes to the SDS documents, those being mainly in the format of the
SDS itself (see Q8, below).
Q16: How will PolyOne address GHS compliant product labels globally?

How is polyketone different?
In the chart above, you can see the polymer structure of polyketone is very similar to PA6, PA66, and POM, which explains the similarity in properties.
How well does this material work with adhesives for bonding?

How one supplier optimized properties, processing with UV-stable materials
The team chose a grade that includes UV stabilization for improved weathering performance.
According to project manager Steffen Burdorf, the chosen elastomer helped his team at Jäger deliver results on several fronts: appearance and quality improvements; productivity enhancements and manufacturing cost reductions; and added product longevity due to UV stabilization.

MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT
CRACKING AND CRAZING
Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing
disinfectant-related failures
DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE
ON POLYMER HOUSINGS
Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital-
acquired infections can damage equipment
and result in material failures, such as:
• Stress cracking
• Crazing
• Discoloration
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS
VARY BY ENVIRONMENT
• Patient/exam rooms
• Operating and radiology rooms
• Reception areas
• Home (patient equipment & devices)
Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must
be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip
the performance of traditional polymers.
Additionally, the wide variability of environments that medical
devices might see, which can range from home to hospital, mean devices must be able to withstand varying
disinfectant strengths, exposure levels and frequencies.
