However, pigments used to color plastic parts can cause warping or shrinking, leading to dosing inaccuracy or even malfunctioning healthcare devices. The Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives portfolio includes nucleating agents that neutralize the negative effect pigments can have on the mechanical properties of the finished plastic part. By improving mechanical properties, wall-thinning and reduced material usage can be achieved, without compromising the performance of the plastic part.

Cesa™ Laser Additives Laser welding solutions Laser plastic welding, also often referred to as transmission welding, is a process of bonding plastic parts using focused laser radiation. A laser beam is directed onto two plastic parts, one that is transparent to the laser energy and one that absorbs the energy. This creates a joint melting pool of both parts and a weld seam that strongly bonds the two plastic parts together.

Because this supplier fabricates with both metal and plastic in its operations, the team decided to find out if converting metal parts to plastic would be an option. Having experience in plastic injection molding, Smart Hero knew the material also had to have excellent flow characteristics to be able to fill the complex geometry required for the light. Most importantly, the plastic light had to have lower manufacturing costs than the painted metal light.
