These
functional additives are available as concentrates to
dilute into the polymer or ready-to-use formulations
that can be used without dilution.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including
the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.

Automatic sorting equipment
in waste facilities relies on the reflectance of NIR
wavelengths to identify polymers and properly
sort packaging waste by plastic material.
The formulation used enables
black packaging of various polymers to be sorted
into the correct polymer stream, and sent for
recycling instead of landfill or incineration, which
is a key requirement of the circular economy
system.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Historically, plywood and other materials have been used as structural panels across a variety of industries.
However, as sustainability initiatives grow and designs become increasingly complex, new material alternatives are needed.
They are custom engineered to meet specific performance requirements: core thickness can be varied to change stiffness, core materials can be selected to achieve weight targets, fiber choice can modify stiffness-to-weight ratio, and the polymer matrix choice affects strength.

Plastic materials offer opportunities and play an
increasingly vital role: colors aid identification and
automated laboratory processes while functional
additives expand the usable property window of
the polymer in areas such as surface chemistry
or oxygen protection.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
