Rigid polymers typically used to make housings for medical devices are failing to resist these chemicals. These medical devices could benefit from the excellent chemical resistance found with Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials. • Barcode Scanners • Blood Pressure Monitors • Defibrillators • Infusion Pumps • Ventilators According to the U.S. RESILIENCE™ HC OUTPERFORMS COMPETING POLYMERS Design engineers are increasingly looking more frequently for better chemical resistance properties in rigid device housings to combat the effects of disinfectants.

Broadly, the HCS covers how chemical manufacturers must determine and communicate the hazards of their products. European countries must also start using the new overall format for chemical mixtures (most of PolyOne’s products and solutions are considered mixtures). Additionally, GHS changes the basic way in which the hazards of a chemical or mixture of chemicals are determined by comparison against specific criteria and providing a prescribed approach to determine hazard classifications and levels of severity.

ECCOH™ LSFOH 6153/6154 UV Formulations Improved processing speeds & greater gel resistance for optical fiber cables ECCOH™ LSFOH 6153 UV and 6154 UV grades are low smoke, fume, non-halogen material solutions for optical fiber cables with increased processing speeds and greater resistance to chemicals such as gel water blocking compounds, used to protect optical fibers.
