Catheters made using the patent-pending NEU View technology provide optical visibility (translucent) when outside the body and superior visibility under X-ray (radiopaque) when inside the body. This technology enhances the ability of clinicians to make visual confirmation of fluid flow and can allow for detection of potentially harmful air bubbles that might cause embolisms, while patients can experience greater comfort via use of a single catheter.

SUZHOU, China – PolyOne today announced that its ColorMatrix™ Ultimate UV390 light blocking technology is now approved for use in PET packaging for food and beverage in China. Caption: ColorMatrix™ Ultimate UV390 is now approved for use in China.

Many products, from industrial tools to suitcases, use nylon grips that benefit greatly from the tactile qualities of overmolded TPEs,” said Charles Page, director of global marketing, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers. Using two-shot or insert molding, the material bonds tightly without adhesives to most standard nylons, as well as heat-stabilized, lubricated, glass-filled and impact-modified versions.

The new masterbatch can be used in all PET bottles, including those for water, beverage and personal care packaging. Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Percept technologies can be tailored to a wide variety of processing conditions, end-use applications, and authentication techniques based on overt, covert, or forensic-based approaches. These solutions enable companies to readily identify counterfeit products with easy-to-use methods based on additives and unique identifiers called taggants.

A change to the formulation used to manufacture LubriOne anti-wear solutions has led to: •    improved processability •    improved surface finish on parts •    lower densities •    improved impact performance These changes have not affected the excellent lubrication and mechanical properties of the original formulation.  LubriOne anti-wear solutions are well established in many industries, enabling customers to replace metal bearings, for example, or to stop using oil or other external lubricants.

New Excelite IM chemical foaming additives are suitable for use in automotive, construction, commercial, personal care packaging or structural foamed applications.  Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses.

These formulations help Mecall reach its eco-conscious goals by reducing the use of lead, and lower the company’s production costs via elimination of added machining and assembly steps. Collimators are used in radiology treatment to limit X-ray beams to the dimensions and angular spread required. 

The same attributes that reduce fog from forming on the films used to pack fresh foods for display in stores also create tremendous value for farmers growing fresh produce by reducing the possibility of condensed water contacting the produce.” Films used to protect crops from extreme weather can create heavy condensation as temperatures fluctuate, and fresh produce begins to decay when it makes contact with this condensed water.
