Unlike water-based inks, plastisol-based EPIC Rio ink does not dry in screens during production, and can also be left in screens overnight, saving printers’ time on clean-up and set-up during shift changes.

Initiatives to prevent HAIs, such as tying Medicare reimbursement levels to patient protection, are driving changes in medical devices,” said Charles Page, global marketing director, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers.

The substrate is locked in its place on wheel in order to maintain the 90o angle while the elastomer is being pulled. It is important to understand that the material does not really change hardness and it is only the feel on the surface that is influenced by the skin thickness.

Over the years, many rigid thermoplastics have been utilized with this hard/soft design in order for specific performance and additional value. The substrate is locked in its place on wheels in order to maintain the 90o angle as the elastomer is pulled.

In order to create the most appropriate anti-fog additives for different types of films, research was commissioned into potential interactions between anti-fog additives in polyethylene (BOPE) films and the bi-component adhesives used in the lamination of biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) to a PE film. Firstly, the additive had to be compatible with the polymer system, but at the same time it needed to be able to migrate to the surface of the film over time, in order to provide a consistent and long-lasting anti-fogging effect.
