Copolyester overmolding can be achieved with several different solutions. PE overmolding can be achieved with our Dynalloy™ OBC 8000 T grades. PS overmolding can be achieved with our Dynaflex™ D series and our universal overmold.

Fabrics made with CESA fiber additives can absorb more heat when exposed to solar rays. When exposed to a light source for 10 minutes, this new generation of heat-preservation additives can provide a temperature increase of up to 12°C for PET and PA fibers. They also can be combined with specific colorants into a single, customized masterbatch to simplify manufacturing. 

For example, traditional printing technologies can lead to the mark peeling off or surface damage can result from the use of infrared (IR) laser marking.  Colorant Chromatics UV Laser Marking technology can allow for a permanent, yet benign, mark on the FEP surface that achieves a 60-80% contrast, meeting aerospace industry standards SAE AS4373F and EN-3475-706. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

This new TPE technology can provide a cost-effective alternative to TPU adhesive films and traditional glue.   With the new Versaflex TF Adhesive TPEs, manufacturers can create close-fitting bodywear textiles that offer consumers a more comfortable exercise experience. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

In addition to excellent wash durability and a super-soft hand, they can provide an intuitive printing experience with conventional screen printing equipment and processes.     This product is an easy switch for our plastisol customers and can help them meet sustainability goals.” These can be mixed into thousands of Pantone® shades using IMS 3.0, Avient Specialty Inks’ proprietary color formulation software.

This technology enhances the ability of clinicians to make visual confirmation of fluid flow and can allow for detection of potentially harmful air bubbles that might cause embolisms, while patients can experience greater comfort via use of a single catheter. Manufacturers of catheters can benefit through increased production efficiency by eliminating a need for co-extrusion, which is typically required to manufacture striped catheters, as well as reducing material usage and complexity. Catheter manufacturers can now offer a commercially viable product that provides excellent visibility, both optically and under X-ray, enabling performance improvements and efficiencies in the healthcare field.”

For manufacturers, this development means they can increase production rates while also maintaining the excellent quality of their laser marking. It is non-contact, abrasion resistant, permanent, and can be integrated into continuous production lines.  We encourage manufacturers to collaborate with our laser marking experts to ensure that marking and contrast can be optimized for each color and polymer.”
