Genesis Plastics Welding’s CEO Tom Ryder will be presenting on the topic of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane (PU) replacement in radio frequency (RF) welding during this week’s MD&M West show in Anaheim, California. The presentation on Thursday, Feb. 10, is part of the show’s new Innovation Briefs Theatre.
Ryder will introduce attendees to ecoGenesis™, our [...]
Environmental and health concerns from healthcare practitioners and patients is creating demand for polyvinyl chloride-free (PVC) and phthalate-free plastic medical devices and supplies. New technologies, such as Genesis’ proprietary ecoGenesis™ radio frequency (RF) plastics welding process, offer an economical alternative to using PVC or PU in medical products manufacturing.
Rather than using polyvinyl chloride, many manufacturers [...]
