Fiber-Line™ Extrusion NEUSoft™ Thermoplastic Polyurethanes Polymer Jacket Extrusion

Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aid for Extrusion NEUSoft™ Thermoplastic Polyurethanes Polymer Jacket Extrusion

– To help medical device manufacturers develop ways to address healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), PolyOne is launching two new medical-grade GLS™ TPE products here at MD&M West (Booth #848). New Versaflex™ HC overmolding thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for medical device housings offer enhanced resistance to commonly used antiseptic cleaners. They also feature excellent bonding to plastics with improved chemical resistance, such as rigid PVC, co-polyesters, PC/polyethylene terephthalate, rigid thermoplastic urethanes and polyetherimide, many of which are now replacing traditional substrate materials.

Home // Knowledge Base // Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Medical Plastics For these reasons, medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging products are typically made with standard polymers (e.g., polyolefins, polyesters) and engineering plastics (e.g., polycarbonate, ABS, POM, PBT). They are drop-in solutions that can be used just like fossil fuel-based polymer solutions during the injection molding, blow molding or extrusion process.
