Catheters made using this patent-pending technology are optically translucent, and have superior contrast under X-ray (radiopaque) when compared with catheters made using radiopaque striping.
NEU View Solutions can be used to produce catheters that are both fully radiopaque and translucent to the naked eye.
Use of a single catheter for both intravenous and X-ray procedures, resulting in fewer needle sticks to improve patient comfort

CLEVELAND – September 13, 2018 – Before PolyOne introduced Versaflex™ XP shock absorbing TPEs to the market, it reached out to an independent testing lab to understand just how well these new materials perform relative to TPUs, one of the most commonly used materials in phone cases.
Both iPhone cases used TPU on the exterior, while the control case used TPU on the interior and the second case used shock absorbing TPEs on the interior.
Caption: PolyOne used Shinyei Technology’s D-202 drop tower to measure impact protection performance in phone cases.

These materials were developed to help manufacturers of 3D molded interconnect devices (MIDs) using laser direct structuring (LDS) to meet critical requirements, such as high design flexibility, multi-function integration, miniaturization, and weight reduction.
Currently, 3D MIDs with LDS technology are widely used in antennas (consumer electronics), automotive components, medical devices, and 5G base stations.

End-use applications are key to determining whether to use liquid or solid colorants, with the focus on the coloring method that will produce the highest quality finished parts.
How to avoid it: Take a serious look at what special effects are available and consider how they might be used to help OEM customers gain market share.
In the second situation, feeding or pumping equipment is purchased for either solid or liquid color technology, and that same-sized equipment is used for every application.

The company was producing wire for USE-2 (Underground Service Entrance) applications in solar systems.
The wire was installed in the transition from outdoor to indoor use.
It also complied with the critical standards – UL 4703 for photovoltaic wire, UL 44 for indoor use and VW-1 for flame resistance – enabling streamlined production of wires and cables that meet virtually all specifications for solar USE-2 applications.
