The medical device manufacturing sector across Asia is growing quickly, and this region is also the clear leader in the manufacturing and export of electronics,” said Barto Du Plessis, vice president Asia, at PolyOne.
This higher Tg frees manufacturers to design parts that can withstand greater operating temperatures and high-temperature sterilization without warping.
In addition, compared to PEEK, the materials can be processed at lower temperatures to help manufacturers save energy during injection molding.

New metal replacement solutions and thermoplastic elastomers for sealing applications help manufacturers effectively and economically increase fuel efficiency, reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and improve manufacturing efficiencies.
By replacing aluminum with Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymer in the heat sink,manufacturers can significantly reduce total part weight and optimize production and logistics.
OnColor™ color and additive concentrates help manufacturers transition away from paint to in-mold color (IMC) solutions that maintain aesthetic qualities while eliminating production steps.

Recent developments in laser marking equipment allow manufacturers to run wire and cable production lines at rates up to 400 meters/minute.
For manufacturers, this development means they can increase production rates while also maintaining the excellent quality of their laser marking.
We encourage manufacturers to collaborate with our laser marking experts to ensure that marking and contrast can be optimized for each color and polymer.”
