Makrolon® is the brand name for our

polycarbonate. Compared with other

thermoplastics, this amorphous mate-

rial has a unique set of properties. Its

special features are its high transpar-

ency, heat resistance, toughness and

dimensional stability, a high creep

modulus and good electrical insula-

tion properties. Glass fi ber reinforced

Makrolon® has particularly high stiff-

ness and is therefore very dimension-

ally stable.

Apec® is the brand name for an advanced

copolycarbonate based on Makrolon® polycar-

bonate. With its unique combination of high

heat resistance, toughness, transparency, light

stability and fl owability, it is unlike any other

engineering thermoplastic. Particularly wor-

thy of note is the high heat resistance, which,

depending on the grade, can be as high as

220 °C. This makes Apec® particularly suit-

able for moldings subject to such a high level

of thermal stress that standard polycarbonate

can no longer be used.

900 series, ether grades (2)

Products offering very good hydrolysis and microbe resistance. Their excellent low-temperature fl exibility constitutes a further characteristic feature. The 900 series is used for example in applications where good fl exibility or impact strength is required at very low temperatures. All of these products incorporate special UV protection. Applications: shoe shells, injection molded engineering components

900 series, ether grades (3) (transparent grades)

These highly transparent ether grades incorporate special UV protection. Clear, highly transparent injection molded parts with a wall thickness of up to 6 mm can be produced, with short cycle times using these prod-ucts. Flat fi lms, hoses and profi les can be extruded from these grades.

Impact modifi ed ester grades

This series of grades was developed primarily for shoe shells and similar applications. Shoe shells or ski boots produced in these grades are light-weight and offer high stiffness and elasticity with very good low-temper-ature impact strength. These modifi ed Desmopan® grades additionally display high scratch and wear resistance.

Glass fi ber reinforced grades

Injection moldings in glass fi ber reinforced Desmopan® are character-ized by low shrinkage and a low coeffi cient of expansion. The coeffi cient of expansion in the direction of the glass fi bers is of the same order of magnitude as for aluminum. Field of application: exterior automotive parts. Parts made from R-TPU display a high heat resistance, good low-temperature impact strength and sound insulation, good fl owability and accurate reproduction of mold detail. Molded parts can be printed and painted. Alongside the glass fi ber reinforced grade listed here, additional reinforced TPU compounds based on Desmopan® are under develop-ment. We would be pleased to provide further information about these reinforced Desmopan® TPU compounds upon request.

Manufacturers of colored plastic articles frequently ask

the question: what is the best process from a technical

and economic point of view? They are often faced with

a dilemma, because colored compounds are not viable

for small production runs, but at the same time, a color

or a surface effect can be a decisive factor in persuad-

ing consumers to purchase a plastic item in the fi rst

place. Fantasia™ from Bayer MaterialScience provides

a fast and effective solution to this problem. The Fanta-

sia™ consulting service offers fi ve basic technologies

for coloring plastics and provides rapid and effective

advice for the processor as to which is the optimum

method for a particular project.

AuraAura is a dip-dyeing process patented by Bayer MaterialScience, in which the parts are colored after production. In contrast to surface coating, the color penetrates into the material, which means that potential rub-off and scratching are not readily visible. Aura offers a vast palette of color and can be used with clear, translucent or opaque parts. Aura can also be used for multi-color and color sequence effects. It allows fl exible work-fl ows and drastically reduces inventory costs. As a technology, Aura is especially suited to the processing of small runs in a extensive variety of colors.In addition to coloration, Aura can also be used to provide polycarbonate parts with a durable UV protective fi nish. This represents a cost-effective and simple alternative to the more costly UV lacquering process. At the present time, Bayer MaterialScience is seeking to extend its range of dip-ping processes to include anti-static, anti-bacterial and other coatings.

LedaWith Leda technology, the color and special effects are created during the actual production of plastic molded parts in the injection molding ma-chine. Leda offers seven different special effect families for decorating plastics. “Sass”: edge-glow effect; “Mirage”: metameric effect, changes color with the angle of view; “Aria”: translucent effect; “Mina”: metallic effect; “Aster”: metal fl ake effect; “Diva”: sparkling and shimmering ef-fect; and “Azar”: fl uorescent effect.

MilenaMilena color concentrates for optical data storage media offer a com-plete coloring solution for CD and DVD production in a wide assortment of different colors. Milena color concentrates comply with the rigorous specifi cations of CD and DVD production. Contamination of the ma-chine, for example, is negligible, and color changeovers can be effected quickly and simply. With Milena, you can put color into optical media for archiving, music and fi lms.

ImagioImagio is more than just a conventional spray coating for plastics. Spe-cialized surface coatings with a formulation tuned precisely to Bayer MaterialScience plastics make it possible to create unique surface ef-fects and special fi nishes, such as a metallic glimmer, various gloss lev-els and soft touch. Imagio truly makes an art form out of plastic.

FariaFaria involves adding a decorative printed or fl ocked fi lm ‘skin’ during production to achieve a unique appearance. The only limiting factor in terms of coloring, design and variability is the customer’s imagina-tion. In combination with high-tech Makrofol® and Bayfol® from Bayer MaterialScience, Faria helps to produce unique visual and tactile effects, which are particularly cost-effective when used for large production runs.

*This is a developmental product, the development of which has not yet been completed. For this reason, final statements as to type conformity, processability, long-term performance characteristics under various con-ditions or other, similar production or application parameters cannot be made at this stage. No warranty or guarantee is therefore provided and no liability assumed with regard to the behavior of the product during use and processing. Any use of a developmental product shall therefore fall outside the scope of our responsibility.

** In the case of medical articles that fall within the scope of ISO 10993-1, only Bayer plastics may be used that fulfill the testing criteria of that particular standard. The biocompatibility tests that we perform in accor-dance with this standard do not cover the following fields of application for medical articles manufactured from our material:

• Long-term use over 30 days, particularly use as (cosmetic or recon-structive) implant

• Long-term contact over 30 days with endogenous substances (blood, tissue, dentine, other body fluids)

• Multiple use for medical applications

Bayer plastics should therefore not be used for long-term applications or with long-term contact.

Use of recycled material and incompatible additivesOur test results for biocompatibility do not apply to the use of recycled materials or the use of other additional material components in the fi nished product.

Responsibility of the manufacturer of the medical articleThe use of our material outside the above-mentioned test scope of ISO 10993-1 occurs exclusively on the responsibility of the processor of our material and the manufacturer of the finished product.As regards the production conditions of the processor of our material which are not known to us, it is the responsibility of the processor to ascertain the suitability of our materials in the finished product in terms of directives and statutes to be observed. The suitability of our materi-als also depends on the ambient conditions (see below) for the finished product.Chemical compatibility, temperature, design of the medical article, meth-od of sterilization, internal stress within the finished article and external stress all influence suitability and are therefore the responsibility of the processor and the manufacturer of the finished product.

Multiple use of medical articlesMedical articles that are intended for single use and which were manu-factured from Bayer plastic are not suitable for multiple use.If the medical article was manufactured for multiple use, it is the respon-sibility of the manufacturer of the finished product to determine an ap-propriate number of times it may be used, by determining and evaluating the conditions of sterilization and final use. Appropriate warnings and instructions must be given to the final user.

SterilizationThe use of various methods of sterilization and the permitted number of sterilization cycles for a medical article which is made from our materials depend on the design of the parts, the processing parameters, the ster-ilization temperature and the chemical environment. The manufacturer must therefore determine and evaluate the most suitable method of ster-ilization (and if applicable, the permitted number of sterilization cycles) for each medical article. Appropriate instruction and warnings must be given to the final user.
