Bio-derived dispersions of PVC resins, they are suitable for multiple manufacturing processes and can be custom-formulated to specific requirements.

Rigid polymers typically used
to make housings for medical devices are
failing to resist these chemicals.
PolyOne conducted a comparative
study of polymer resistance to three common, harsh disinfectant chemistries.
When this improved chemical resistance is combined with excellent
melt flow, flame resistance, UV resistance, and appearance, it’s easy to see why Resilience™ HC Rigid
Molding Materials are becoming the materials of choice for rigid medical device housings.

Chemical Resistance to Alkali: Strong alkalis will attack at high temperature or concentration.
Chemical Resistance to Organic Solvent: Degrades moderately in Carbon Tetrachloride and Ethylene Glycol/Water.
They also add important characteristics, such as
SWELLCOAT® water-blocking, water repellence, adhe-
sion, color, and wear and UV-resistance to these and
many other applications.

Among
the required properties were high strength and stiffness,
impact resistance, moderate temperature resistance and low
warpage.
This material offers
the stiffness and high impact performance required to support
and secure multiple electronic attachments, and provides the
impact and temperature resistance needed.
Excellent performance = customer satisfaction: The
strength, impact resistance, low warpage and additional
properties of Bergamid resin help ensure the part meets
stringent OEM requirements and satisfies its customers
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/EZR Gun Grip Case Study.pdf
EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be
chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide
or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient
in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting
aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition
65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to
Californians about significant exposures to chemicals
that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other
reproductive harm).
This technology also helps achieve
superior grip properties, improving haptics for a
better sense of touch and feel while remaining UV-
resistant, chemical resistant to DEET and oils, and
bio-compatible.
