Unique Materials for Medical and Alternative Energy Applications

聚合复合管is a non-conductive, electrically safe, insulating material.

几个供应商材料,基于“增大化现实”技术的发展e well suited for the medical and alternative energy industry markets. For example, a new composite tubing material from Polygon Composites Corp. targets medical applications. It can also replace other materials such as stainless steel. Called PolyMed, the material is a lightweight, yet strong product that maintains radiolucent and dielectric properties. Furthermore, the company’s medical composites can withstand a standard steam autoclave and are affordable enough to be disposable. The material is used in a variety of endoscopic and laparoscopic instrumentation applications, as well as vein harvesting procedures and instrument tubes for robotic surgical operations.

This composite is machinable and strong, which means it can be used for a variety of applications. Sizes range from 1 mm to 20 mm in diameter with walls as thin as 0.0080-in. The material can be formulated with a variety of continuous fiber orientations and structures that make it stiff and strong.

Other properties include the following:

•High strength to weight ratio
•高扭转稳定性
•Outstanding dielectric properties
•电磁透明
•经过证明的生物兼容
•USP Class VI rated|
•Non-reflective optical characteristics
•Numerous fabrication options
•No secondary sheathing required.

Eco-friendly materials
PolyOne的另一位供应商为太阳能行业开发了一系列ECCOH高性能产品，例如光伏电线和电缆，光伏的后板，连接器和外壳。用于光伏组件的材料必须抵抗恶劣的环境，提供长期的温度抗性并满足所有电气组件的性能要求。此外，组件必须满足消防安全要求，包括低毒性，低烟雾排放和低腐蚀。

该公司的光伏电线和电缆产品包括：

•ECCOH Solar-T low smoke and fume, zero halogen (LSFOH) components
•OnColor Solar black color concentrate
•Smartbath Solar red or blue with UV additive concentrate
•OnCap Solar dry silane concentrate for crosslinking

For higher efficiency photovoltaic polymer backsheet laminates, the company offers specialized color and additive concentrates. For example, polymer-specific OnColor color concentrates are developed to meet targeted characteristics such as ultrafine dispersion, clear visual differentiation, optimum opacity, and reflectance. Proprietary OnCap additive concentrates extend the laminate’s already long-term service life.

对于太阳能电池板背面层压板，Polyone在其颜色和Oncap产品线中开发了专有的着色剂和添加剂。

The company’s Halogen Free Flame Retardant (HFFR) engineered materials include Bergamid PA PBT, Maxxam PP, and high temperature polyamide Edgetek AM, compounds that are suitable for use in a variety of photovoltaic electrical applications. These eco-conscious HFFR materials can be used in connectors, fuse holders, and circuit breakers where compliance with IEC 60364-7-712 international standards for solar photovoltaic electrical components is required. The compounds have excellent electrical properties (CTI 600V), dimensional stability, flammability requirements (GWFI 960°C, UL940V0), low moisture sensitivity, and high chemical and environmental resistance.

While the solar industry is growing in traditional applications such as solar panels for buildings, it is also expanding to applications such as hybrid aircraft, hybrid cars, and lighting. The company makes materials for solar-powered lights housings, which must maintain color and appearance under outdoor exposure. Its pre-colored Geon high-flow vinyl molding compound has excellent flow characteristics, surface finish, color retention, and a cost-effective alternative to painted metal housings.

Green products replace hazardous solvents
第三个供应商Polychem使Acrastrip 600 CRR是一种复合树脂去除剂，被配制为更安全的丙酮替代品。它清洁所有层压工具和切碎枪支，而无需丙酮的危险。该产品可以在使用丙酮的任何地方使用。

Furthermore, Acrastrip 600 B&G MOD Auto is an environmentally safe purge and paint booth maintenance solution. The product is non-hazardous and designed to remove solvent-borne and waterborne coatings during purge and clean up tasks. It is also a neutral, biodegradable, and water reducible composition for flushing paint lines of coatings such as urethanes, acrylics, epoxies, waterborne substances, and high-solid content baked enamels.

The product cleans electrostatic bells, paint guns, plural component metering systems, as well as pressure pots and pumps during multiple color changes in a production environment or in a booth or equipment maintenance applications. The active ingredient removes residual paints when new color requirements for the booth change rapidly. It replaces solvent materials such as MEK, acetone, xylene, toluene, and other solvents used in automotive and general industrial painting processes.

Acrastrip is also available in wipes. They are pre-saturated, dual-textured cloths that also remove resins, paint, oil, and putty as does the liquid. The wipes remove materials from equipment and most surfaces without any secondary wiping or rinsing. What’s more, the wipes do not affect any painted, plated, or welded surfaces or materials.
