https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Disinfectant Resistant Trilliant and Versaflex HC Materials Program Bulletin_0.pdf
Trilliant™ HC high performance formulations were
developed for specific healthcare enclosure needs,
including:
• Chemical resistance to common disinfectants
• UL 94 ratings of 5VA at 3.0, V-0 at 1.5 mm &
V-1 at 0.75 mm
• Retained color aesthetics after chemical
exposure
• Ability to utilize existing PC/PET & COPE tooling
Tested using an adaptation from ASTM D543 for
environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR),
15 bars of each material were placed into jigs at
1% and 2% strain.
Three bars were treated with
five different commercially available hospital
disinfectants once every 24 hours for three days.
Designed for two-
shot injection molding and formulated for the
appropriate substrate, these medical-grade TPEs
are compatible with rigid PVC, copolyesters, all
PC alloys, ABS, TPUs and PEI substrates.

Specialized chemistries enable TPEs to adhere to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide, and polystyrene, for a seamless and permanent bond.
TPEs can provide unusual texturing, such as a bubble or ridged surface or a leather-like feel for phone and tablet cases, as well as combinations of different textures that accentuate electronic functionality.
