#AssociationCooperation 🎉 Today we celebrate International Adhesive and Sealant Day. It's a holiday during which we emphasize that adhesives and sealants connect the world - literally and figuratively!   🤝 2 years ago, several international organizations, including FEICA® – the Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry, of which Selena is an active member – launched the celebration of this holiday. Together we participate in the development and promotion of best practices in the industry.   ✅ Ever wondered how adhesives and sealants are literally everywhere? ·        They help create lighter, more energy-efficient vehicles, ·        enable water savings in infrastructure and water management systems, ·        are used in the medical industry, from prosthetics to diagnostic devices.   💪 So let's celebrate and appreciate the inventions and solutions that often go unnoticed, yet surround us and make our lives better and easier every day.   👉 Want to know more? ·        International Adhesive and Sealant Day: https://lnkd.in/dZF7b2nc ·        FEICA®: https://lnkd.in/ejcEeXvQ   #InternationalAdhesiveandSealantDay #FEICA #AdhesivesSealants #ConstructionChemicals

Looking at Helium leak detection? Take a look at the below video. Feel free to leverage our knowledge and to find out what improvements in your processes are possible.

Make it strong. Make it ULTEM™ resin. With their high strength and stiffness, lightweight ULTEM HU resins can replace metal to increase ergonomics and ease of use for medical and surgical devices. Consider unreinforced and glass fiber-reinforced grades to achieve your desired level of compression strength. Plus, ULTEM HU resins offer manufacturing advantages over metal. Injection molding of complex parts can increase productivity and avoid costly secondary operations. ℹ To learn more, download our new flyer on material strength via the link in the comments. ℹ While you’re there, check out our two other new flyers on durability and sterilization. All three feature test results and other performance data. #plastics #SABIC #ChemistryThatMatters #plasticsengineering #plasticsindustry #chemicalindustry #SABICSpecialties #medicaldevices

It's not an edit, it's the future of coatings. Lubricent® BrightView™ hydrophilic coatings are designed to fluoresce under blacklight, allowing for non-destructive testing of coating coverage and gross void detection.

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐢-𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 🩺 The secret to long, thin-walled flexible catheters lies in their three main layers: 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: This layer provides smoothness, durability, and ease of processing. It's often made of PTFE, FEP, Polyimide, or polyamide. The goal is to be thin, durable, and low-friction. 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞r: This layer adds strength, control, and durability, usually made of stainless steel 304V in braid or coil form, depending on the needed flexibility or force. It acts like the skeleton of the device and ensures it remains retrievable even if damaged. 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: This is the skin that holds everything together and allows for flexible adjustments in specific sections. It’s always a polymer, typically polyamide-based or TPU, like Pebax, Nylon, or Polyurethane. Understanding each of these layers, the processes, and material options independently, is what separates the masters of the catheter craft.

today's #cyclodextrin is about beauty. We shared a lot about using cyclodextrins in the #cosmetic industry, here is a particular application for making eye masks. While there could be several applications, in this patent, CDs are used to solubilize oleanolic acid and make it bioavailable for the product. Based on the concept, several other actives could be incorporated to create products with such a superior delivery system enabling improved outcomes. https://lnkd.in/dCwZTXm5

Why choosing the right plastic joining technology can make a difference in single-use medical device production. As demand for single-use medical devices like syringes, catheters, and blood bags increases, selecting the right plastic joining technology becomes essential. Technologies such as ultrasonic and laser welding ensure strong, reliable seals, without compromising the delicate materials used in these devices and are crucial for maintaining sterility, preventing contamination, and meeting strict medical standards. In this new article, Emerson expert Kun Wang explains why the right joining technology enhances product performance, reduces contamination risk, and ensures compliance with stringent medical standards.
