Whether you are using color for functional or aesthetic purposes, careful consideration of each of
the following points will prove valuable in your color selection and implementation:
• Is your color formulation and polymer fully compatible and optimized for your production
process?
LIQUID COLOR

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.
When it comes to material selection and options, you need a strong partner that understands
both polymers and the demands of the healthcare environment.
After three days of exposure to the hospital
disinfectants, a 20x magnified image was taken of each set of bars to
demonstrate the effect of the chemical.
