APPLICATION BULLETIN Resilience™ HC for Medical Device Housings Offering Improved Resistance to Hospital Disinfectants EFFECT ON POLYMER HOUSINGS FOR MEDICAL DEVICES Unfortunately, the increased disinfection practices among healthcare providers have another effect. Rigid polymers typically used to make housings for medical devices are failing to resist these chemicals. These medical devices could benefit from the excellent chemical resistance found with Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials

They provide excellent resistance to heat, oil, creep, and abrasion for durability – which can help reduce the risk and rate of material degradation over time – plus high extrusion speeds and ambient curing for additional processing advantages and efficiencies.

ColorMatrix Optica blue toners are formulated for injection molding and extrusion processes, and are commercially available in major global markets.
