– February 6, 2018 – At Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) West this week, PolyOne is highlighting its extensive portfolio of polymers and colorants for the healthcare industry while also featuring the experts who stand behind the technology. Expanded resin families are able to incorporate biocompatible colorants and additives including nylon, polypropylene, and polystyrene. PolyOne is exhibiting at MD&M West in Anaheim, California, in booth 2101 from February 6-8, 2018.

Versaflex™ TF Adhesive TPEs for Textile Fabrics: a cost-effective alternative compared to traditional thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) adhesive films and traditional glues, offering a low VOC and non-intentionally added plasticizers, combining strong and seamless adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics with outstanding elastic recovery for high wearing comfort Bergamid™ FR Non-Halogen Flame Retardant Formulations: specially formulated for high-voltage connectors in a safety orange color, these materials combine the application flexibility of high-flow nylons for thin-wall designs with the performance of a non-halogenated fire retardant system, available in unfilled or reinforced PA6, PA66 and PA 6/66 grades with UL 94 V0 and CTI 800+ ratings  

Solutions include specialty medical, as well as polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, nylon and copolyester. 

Non-nylon based

Complēt™ Moisture Resistant Nylons

Fiber-specific flame retardant systems for PP, PES and PA (nylon) fibers that can be combined with color Additive concentrates that impart fast and durable water repellency and IPA repellency grade 6 to PP nonwovens Nylon Carpet for Carpet Producer

Softer SEBS materials (below 30 Shore A) will shrink more than harder 6 materials. Undercut sprue puller Figure 6. Specific Versaflex OM grades have been specially formulated to bond to PC, ABS, nylon 6/6, PC/ABS, and PPO.

Thermoplastics used in making composites range from polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA) and polycarbonate (PC) to polyester, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).
