Material testing shows that it surpasses other TPEs on the market in resisting the oil and abrasion often encountered with demanding usage. Testing under ASTM D3389 proved that this new material delivers 40 percent better abrasion resistance than a leading competitor’s product, as well as incumbent GLS nylon overmolding grades.

James Petrie, marketing director for PolyOne Color and Additives, explained, “This expansion of the OnColor HC Plus portfolio reinforces our commitment to the healthcare industry and adds new alternatives for customers who seek to streamline their qualification, testing and supply chain management processes.” Said Petrie, “An expanded line of OnColor HC Plus colorants not only gives our customers more options, it also gives them confidence as they move forward with regulatory testing to meet the demands of the global marketplace.”

Their presence in the fibers can be detected during specific tests to confirm the ownership of the fibers to a specific customer/product line the textile originated from. Supplied with a testing service package

Now that resin producers are offering bio-based polyolefins and other polymers pre-tested to healthcare standards, the healthcare industry can start switching to bio-based polymers and bio-based polymer solutions to help reduce the carbon footprint and increase the sustainability of their plastic parts. Like all Mevopur products, Mevopur Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions use raw materials pre-tested to ISO 10993-1, USP and , EP 3.1.3 / 3.1.5 (polyolefin packaging materials), USP (polyethylene) and ICH Q3D (elemental impurities).

CLEVELAND – October 31, 2018 – At MD&M Minneapolis today, PolyOne Corporation announced that Trilliant™ HC material outperforms FR PC/ABS after exposure to harsh disinfectants, according to tensile strength stress tests performed by an independent A2LA-accredited lab. Testing results show that Trilliant HC 2020 retains higher tensile strength than common FR PC/ABS materials after seven-day exposure to typical disinfectants.

Tests conducted by PolyOne on cable extruded from ECCOH 5702 specialty polymers reveal a CoF up to 75% lower than standard LSFOH (Low Smoke and Fume, Non-Halogen) formulations. For outdoor applications, ECCOH 5702 solutions can be UV stabilized, including formulations that pass the SEPAP accelerated aging test.

The colorant solutions are available in PP and PE (HDPE and LDPE) and produced with ingredients tested to European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3 and 3.1.5 as well as to USP chapters , including class VI (a requirement for ophthalmic and nasal drugs) and USP and (light transmission). Avient also offers pre-tested colorants for caps and closures used in pharmaceutical packaging.​

Standard testing protocols typically involve one full recycle loop, but as the use of rPET increases, it becomes essential to test through multiple recycle loops.
