INEOS Styrolution Launches New ASA Grade for Healthcare Industry

-

 INEOS Styrolution announced the introduction of a new ASA “MED” material dedicated to applications in the #healthcare industry. It was designed specifically having small #medicaldevice housings and casings in mind.


Excellent Mechanical Properties:

The new Luran® S MED 797S SPF30 is a member of INEOS #Styrolution’s #asa product family Luran® S. Luran® S excels with strong property performance such as chemical resistance, #UV resistance, and impact strength. Suitable for #injectionmolding applications, Luran® S offers excellent flowability for easy processing.


Luran® S MED 797S SPF30, available in NR (Natur) and in white (WT000112), builds on these strengths. The product shows excellent chemical resistance against alcohols (e.g., IPA, ethanol, propanol) or alcohol-based disinfectants. It also shows good resistance against #quaternary ammonium or glutaral based #disinfectants making it a material of choice for clinical environments.


High impact strength specifically at room temperature and at lower temperatures (5°C) contribute to a better protection of devices, e.g., avoiding cracking failures when a device drops to the floor. This particular performance trait makes Luran® S MED 797S SPF30 a compelling alternative to standard ABS materials.


The new Luran® S grade is also available using #renewablefeedstock, based on a mass balance process certified under ISCC PLUS. Luran® S ECO MED 797S SPF30 BC40 contains 40% renewable content resulting in a carbon footprint reduction of up to 52% compared to fossil based Luran® S.


Bernd Elbert, market development manager at #INEOS Styrolution says, “The market segment of small, mobile medical and hospital devices is growing rapidly. The properties of our new Luran® S MED 797S SPF30 make it a very strong contender for device housings and casings in this specific category. I invite every application designer to explore our new product for their next project.”

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio
