NanoVy™ Ti is a nano coating of CP Titanium onto an implant surface, such as a PEEK polymer.   At 4 weeks, and again at 8 weeks, the PEEK implant with NanoVy™ Ti coating demonstrates much better bony apposition, and a significant reduction in fibrous tissue. NanoVy™ Ti coated PEEK demonstrates significant reduction in the fibrous layer associated with uncoated PEEK implants. This is achieved without reducing the radiolucency or altering the modulus of elasticy of the PEEK implant. Vy Spine® is proud to offer NanoVy™ Ti coated PEEK in both its ClariVy™ Cervical IBF and LumiVy™ Lumbar IBF implants. https://lnkd.in/gpjSezu5 https://lnkd.in/gYqc7UWf https://lnkd.in/g8arWGrz #VySpine #NanoVyTi #ClariVy #LumiVY Spine J_18_(2018)_ Walsh B et al, The in vivo response to a novel Ti coating compared with PEEK- evaluation of the periphery and inner surfaces of an implant, p1237, © 2018. (Note: Nanometalene is another brand name for NanoVy™ Ti, data is derived from in vivo st...

In injection molding, dimensional changes occur due to postmold shrinkage, influenced by the material's glass transition temperature. For materials with glass transition below room temperature, molecules continue shrinking after ejection, potentially taking days to stabilize, as seen in a thermoplastic elastomer overmold on a metal insert. Lower mold temperatures freeze molecules prematurely, building in stress that releases later under heat, causing warpage—like a cassette exposed to 150°F or nylon parts with incomplete crystallization. - Amorphous and crystalline resins both risk shrinkage if crystallization is incomplete. - Annealing relieves stresses by allowing molecules to reach pref...

Vertex Innovations LLC is establishing a $13.5 million advanced manufacturing operation in Auburn, #Alabama , bringing 45 new jobs and specialized plastic injection molding capabilities to the region's growing automotive supply chain sector.

Syensqo, a global leader in high-performance materials, and woom, the innovative manufacturer of premium children’s and teen’s #bikes , announce a strategic partnership to introduce Syensqo’s Omnix® 1030 ECHO RPRF circular polymer in the new woom WOW bike series. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the transition to more circular, high-performance materials for the leisure goods industry, with Syensqo’s materials used in key visible structural components including the front fork, back fork, and handlebar of woom’s latest models. The woom WOW is a self-balancing bike designed for children aged 9 to 36 months, helping them develop balance and motor skills through an intuitive, stabilizing design. Made in Europe, it combines a lightweight, premium look with more sustainable materials, including Syensqo’s Omnix® 1030 ECHO RPRF. This circular polymer contains 98% recycled content and can reduce the product’s carbon footprint by up to 72% compared to conventional materials, ...

Implant materials don’t just need to perform. They need to stand up to regulatory scrutiny. GUR® UHMW‑PE 1020 and 1050 premium grades are used globally in orthopedic implants and are designed to meet stringent regulatory and conformity requirements, including: ·      ASTM F648 and ISO 5834‑1 / ‑2 ·      USP Class VI and ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing Beyond materials, Celanese actively supports OEMs by maintaining FDA Drug Master Files (DMF) and Device Master Files (MAF) for selected grades, helping simplify regulatory review and approval pathways.

SCG Chemicals or SCGC, led by Mr. Chatri Eamsobhana, Chief Commercial Officer, has delivered 10,500 food-grade #recycledfoodcontainers to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). The food containers are produced from used food containers collected from Bangkok activities and recycled by SCGC into new food containers through Advanced Recycling Technology, resulting in properties equivalent to virgin material and ensuring they are clean, safe, and suitable for food contact. The food containers will be used to package royal-provided meals for the public paying respects to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother at Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall. The handover was received by Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, together with Mr. Sanon Wangsrangboon, Deputy Governor of Bangkok, and Mr. Pornphrom Vikitsreth, Adviser to the Governor of Bangkok, for further distribution by the Social Development Department and the Royal Kitchen, via Ms. Orathai Sakunee, Deputy Director of the...
