Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Technology for FEP With the capacity to withstand high heat and corrosive environments, fluoropolymers have outstanding dielectric properties and continuous service temperatures. Beyond traditional marking, Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Technology provides an ability to apply ultraviolet (UV) laser marking to FEP. The unique formulation of Colorant Chromatics UV Laser Marking Technology enables a permanent and gentle marking of the cable surface.

Degraded/ overheated material • Decrease melt temperature • Decrease back pressure • Use smaller barrel • Decrease injection speed Gate location and/or size • Relocate gate to nonstress area • Increase gate size to allow higher flow rate and lower molded in stress Fibers/Minerals on Surface or Uneven Surface Appearance Melt temperature too low • Increase injection speed Insufficient packing • Increase hold pressure and time Processing Guide 5 Sink Marks Part geometry too thick • Reduce wall thickness • Reduce rib thickness Melt too hot • Decrease nozzle and barrel temperatures Insufficient material volume • Increase packing pressure • Increase gate size Flash Injection pressure too high • Decrease injection pressure • Increase clamp pressure • Increase transfer position Excess material volume • Adjust transfer position • Decrease pack pressure • Decrease shot size Melt and/or mold too hot • Decrease screw speed Loose clamp • Reset mold height • Increase clamp tonnage Shrink Too much shrink Too little shrink • Decrease cooling time 6 Nymax Polymer Formulations Burning Process related Mold design • Clean, widen and increase number of vents • Increase gate size to reduce shear Wet material • Check moisture.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations Special Effect Colorants for Healthcare Devices and Pharmaceutical Packaging Self-administered medication, for example via pen devices and inhalers, has been the norm for many years. Ingredients used in the Mevopur™ portfolio have been tested to industry standards that support applications in both medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging.* KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Manufactured at four ISO 13485 certified manufacturing sites, providing global consistency and increased security of supply • Documented change control beyond CAS number, reducing risk of change • Non-phthalate and formulated without animal-derived substances • Available as pre-colored formulation or concentrate and for use in different polymers REGULATORY SUPPORT • Raw materials tested to: - ISO 10993-1 and USP biological evaluation - European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3/3.1.5 (polyolefin) - USP (polyethylene) - ICH Q3D elemental impurities • Registered Drug Master File (Type III) and/or Device Master File • Food contact established with FDA/EU** APPLICATION BULLETIN * Design note: Effect colors require careful consideration of part design and polymer flow paths to minimize visible flow lines.

White Paper Stain resistant TPEs for white or light-colored phone cases Learn how blue jean stain resistant TPEs make the difference for white and light-colored phone cases

Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world's strongest fiber™.

It drives the innovation that earns us leadership positions in the markets we serve and colors the respect we show each other every day.

This new solution also improves the aesthetics of recycled packaging in terms of haze and color, including a reduction in the yellowing effect that may occur during recycling.

These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored.

Our Versalloy™ HC Series TPVs are ideal for medical devices that are designed with long, thin flow paths, and they're highly colorable with a smooth tactile feel.
