Ergonomic Enhancements TPE soft grips can also optimize medical practitioners’ control of surgical instruments during procedures and protect expensive handheld diagnostic devices. In addition, when used to produce easy-open pill bottles in various colors that can be clearly identified, TPEs aid arthritic patients while they self- administer medications at home. 4. In addition, the formulation meets ISO 15759 requirements for medical infusion equipment and is manufactured in an ISO 13485 facility.

Silicone/PVC/TPV replacement for medical tubing The plasticizer used in PVC compound restricts PVC in many medical applications. Special grade of TPV can be used for various medical application, however is opaque. Medical grade SBC compounds have transparent or translucent appearance and are suitable for medical tubing applications.

PRODUCT BULLETIN ColorMatrix™ Liquid Dispersion for Extrusion Blow Molding Avient’s ColorMatrix™ LCX liquid color products are the latest advancement in technology to deliver stable pigment dispersions for the extrusion blow molding (EBM) process.

They act as plasticizers to improve the flow of the polymer through the process (extrusion, injection molding, extrusion blow molding, etc), reducing the heat and energy needed.

They are effective for cleaning both extrusion and injection molding equipment and have the added benefit of being recyclable.

The FlexCart M.I. is designed to meet the needs of extrusion and similar continuous processes requiring additive and colorant delivery directly into a molten polymer stream. To operate in an extrusion process, the mixing capabilities may need to be enhanced and the FlexCart M.I. can be combined with a Cavity Transfer Mixer (CTM).
