This includes equipment security, fire prevention, and overall user safety. Antimicrobial and antifungal additives can protect the user interfaces and touchpoints from mold, mildew, and bacteria, while antistatic and conductive formulations can prevent static discharge and create safer, statically dissipated plastic parts.  

Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) draft guidance, “Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Medical Device Design,” recommends the use of appropriate human factors analysis, testing and validation during the design phase of medical devices to reduce user-related hazards and errors. For example, the Lobie™ earbud accessory from Acousticlobe features soft, lightweight TPE material, and is designed to position earbuds next to the ear so users avoid the discomfort of inserting them into the ear canal.

The insoles add comfort to any running or walking shoe, with many users reporting that their recovery following a long run was significantly reduced. They fit comfortably in most athletic shoes, including racing spikes, with the glass fiber properties providing comfort and performance benefits to the user.

Recognized for putting the user experience first, Carbonerro first approached Avient with the need for a paddle shaft that would float, rather than sink, and use composites rather than aluminum to provide an improved experience for intermediate riders. THE IMPACT Finding a material that would add value to the user in the form of a lighter weight, higher performing paddle was critical.
