Engineered Polymer Services Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT), also known as long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT), are revolutionizing the industry by replacing metal and other underperforming polymers.

Traditional vulcanized rubber products require application of adhesives to bond to the closure, and this adhesive bond has a greater potential for failure than the chemical bond formed between a TPE and  polymer substrate. Purity and cleanliness are crucial for polymers used in healthcare applications, and this formulation enhances purity not only because it offers low coring levels, but because it is made without cross-linking agents that can potentially leach into the container and interact with the sensitive pharmaceutical product.

What types of polymers are typically used for photovoltaic cables? Polymers must be cross-linked to withstand the high temperatures generated by the metal wires they protect.

Top to bottom: Aluminum handle, legacy polymer handle, new Anthem Wave handle designed by Avient Design Known for their signature aluminum handle, Rada also offered a polymer version that featured greater corrosion resistance and could be run in the dishwasher without tarnishing.

Working together, the group determined that Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymers had all the necessary properties to replace the aluminum heat sinks. Today, Mars Otomotiv benefits from the simplified logistics of molding polymer heat sinks in-house – including reduced order lead time, improved on-time order completion and more free-working capital. 

With a broad portfolio of healthcare polymer technologies under the Mevopur™ brand, Avient can assist in addressing many of these challenges. Help protect or enhance the performance of polymers used in medical devices, diagnostics and pharmaceutical packaging.
