CASE STUDY: BERGAMID™ POLYMER FORMULATIONS & GLS™ TPES Challe nge Accepted. They wanted to transition from metal to a polymer-based, two-component handle that would deliver: • scratch and chemical resistance • excellent mechanical properties • a grippy, soft-touch feel To support the transition, Victorinox sought our help based on its expertise in polymer science and ability to support product development and efficient manufacturing of the new two-component handles. Achieving the non-slip handle Victorinox envisioned required a soft material for the new grip areas that would chemically bond to a rigid polymer underneath.

MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT CRACKING AND CRAZING Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing disinfectant-related failures DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE ON POLYMER HOUSINGS Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital- acquired infections can damage equipment and result in material failures, such as: • Stress cracking • Crazing • Discoloration CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS VARY BY ENVIRONMENT • Patient/exam rooms • Operating and radiology rooms • Reception areas • Home (patient equipment & devices) Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip the performance of traditional polymers. When it comes to material selection and options, you need a strong partner that understands both polymers and the demands of the healthcare environment. An independent lab tested the following polymers with various disinfectants to help customers choose the material suitable to their specific application requirements.

Rigid polymers typically used to make housings for medical devices are failing to resist these chemicals. RESILIENCE™ HC OUTPERFORMS COMPETING POLYMERS Design engineers are increasingly looking more frequently for better chemical resistance properties in rigid device housings to combat the effects of disinfectants. PolyOne conducted a comparative study of polymer resistance to three common, harsh disinfectant chemistries.

Since these layers are difficult to separate, and the polymers are not compatible, their properties can be negatively influenced during the recycling phase. It works by bringing incompatible polymers – such as PP and PE – together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification. The technology also helps maintain stiffness and mechanical strength close to that of the polymer’s starting point, thereby improving impact strength and ductility.
