PHTHALATES
IN PLASTICS
KNOWING
THE FACTS
Phthalates are a group of chemicals used to make plastics,
and in particular polyvinyl chloride (PVC), more flexible.
They are used in a remarkably wide variety of flexible PVC
products found in our homes and businesses.
https://www.avient.com/news/medtec-china-2024-avient-announces-healthcare-tpu-manufacturing-expansion
Newly Expanded Manufacturing of NEU™ Custom Capabilities and NEUSoft™ Thermoplastics Polyurethanes for catheter applications: now produced in Suzhou, China, offering customized services and rapid response times to customers from Asia Pacific, a series of ultra-soft TPUs for short-term in-vivo applications that are available in custom colors with excellent ultraviolet (UV) stability and barrier properties, offer good elasticity, resistance to abrasions and tears, barrier properties, and melt strength for use in a host of catheter applications, including cardiovascular, intravenous, and other specialty segments .
Versaflex™ HC & Versaflex™ HC BIO BT Series TPEs: grades formulated specifically to handle the complexities of healthcare and biopharmaceutical tubing, including excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low extractables, delivering comparable performance to competing materials such as silicone and PVC tubing, while providing lower Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) values than other materials* The Versaflex HC BIO BT218 grade is formulated with 40% bio-derived content and provides a sustainable substitute for traditional materials.
TPEs and specialty engineered polymers for auto-injector pens: offer excellent chemical and impact resistance, good self-lubrication functions, durability to extend product life and meet biocompatibility and food-contact safety regulations.
https://www.avient.com/industries/healthcare/drug-delivery-systems/prefilled-syringes
The components can also be formulated using chemical- and impact-resistant materials while providing a low coefficient of friction (COF) for improved accuracy, reliable sealing, and ease of use.

PROCESSING GUIDE
2 Artisan Pre-Colored Thermoplastics
Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics
Artisan™ thermoplastics are vibrant, pre-colored high-gloss, scratch resistant engineered polymers
formulated to replace paint for superior results.
The impact-modified PA6 grade offers minimized scratch
appearance compared to painted plastic and improves corrosion resistance when replacing painted metal
parts.
Outdoor consumer applications where superior aesthetics,
chemical resistance, UV stability, and high performance are critical, such as powersports, lawn and garden,
and marine body panels and housings, are suitable candidates for customized Artisan formulations.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/Omnicolor Brochure.pdf
Available in a wide range of stock and standard colors, Omnicolor colorants
are suitable for use with over 25 different polymers, including PVC, nylon
and ABS.

RECOMMENDED ADDITION RATES
CONCENTRATE SELECTION
Omnicolor colorants are generally
selected because of their versatility
where a wide range of polymers are
processed and their availability for
sale in small quantities.
Calculate using Let Down Percentage:
Cost/lb of Concentrate x (Let Down Percentage/100) = Coloring Cost
Calculate using Let Down Ratio:
Cost/lb of Concentrate – Cost/lb of Resin
Let Down Ratio +1 = Coloring Cost

LABORATORY PERFORMANCE BASED ON
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
To ensure the highest quality products, our customers rely on high-
performance raw materials which guarantee that the final products
meet the required specifications for heat resistance, household
washing, weathering and lightfastness.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-10/microbial-susceptibility-of-various-polymers-and-evaluation.pdf
Several standard test methods were employed to eval-
uate the microbial resistance of the polymer substrates,
including Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801,
ASTM G21-15, and ASTM E1428-15a.
Overall, the most notable distinctions were observed
during ASTM G21-15 fungal resistance testing on smooth
plaque surfaces, which exhibited variable growth ratings
for the polymer substrates, as shown in Table 1.
All substrates
also exhibited heavy bacterial growth (>100 colonies) prior
to washing during ASTM E1428-15a pink stain testing,
with only PEI and polysulfone demonstrating resistance to
staining (Figure 1; Table S1).

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
The primary features and benefits
of Gravi-Tech formulations are:
• Customized density, offering a wide range of
specific gravities from 1.5 to 11 gm/cm3
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to
very rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance, withstanding oxidation
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance, withstanding fuels, oils
and other harsh chemicals
Additional features include:
• Design flexibility and processing ease
• Good impact strength
• Elevated heat deflection temperature

CHAPTER 2 | PROCESS SETTINGS
Density Modified Formulations
Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based
alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.
Baffles flow up and
around a pipe structure that protrudes into the
core, and bubblers flow up this pipe structure
and then out and around it. 2
Series
This type of cooling layout uses the least amount
of coolant, but it has the highest pressure drop.
Back Pressure
This is the pressure applied to the back of the
screw to resist screw recovery after injection.
