thicknesses for a broad color spectrum
• Outperforms PC/ABS, PC/PET and COPE in
resistance to common disinfectants
• Retains tensile strength after 72-hour exposure
to common hospital disinfectants, and shows
better long-term chemical resistance as
compared to PC blends and COPE
• Exhibits good impact and temperature resistance
• Available in natural grades, standard medical
colors, or custom pre-colored products
• Medical device housings
• MRI, X-ray, CT scanner components
• Surgical instruments such as staplers, dissectors,
scissors
• Auto-injector pen
TRILLIANT™ HC
ELECTRICALLY
CONDUCTIVE
FORMULATIONS
• Consistent conductivity ensures repeatable
part performance and minimizes failures
related to inconsistent electrical conductivity
• High flow and easy processing facilitate filling
of thin wall parts and multiple cavity tools,
which enable faster cycle times and lower
per-unit part costs
• Superior durability reduces breakage and
resultant scrap related costs
• Less tendency to flash results in improved
appearance and less fluid retention in or on
the tip, thus driving greater accuracy and less
potential for cross-contamination
• High strength produces parts with greater
stiffness and warp resistance, again
minimizing scrap-related costs
• Conductive pipette tips

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material
costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as
legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-
routine costs.
Whether
