End Markets

Electronic medical products may be required to comply with more stringent laws in the near future, and a broad product line of “polymers for eco-friendly innovation” from Ticona Engineering Polymers (Florence, KY) helps designers select from grades that are all UL listed and RoHS, WEEE, and REACH compliant. The disposal of electrical and electronic products changed in June 2003 under WEEE, and the introduction of RoHS in July 2006 regulates the levels of hazardous substances, including certain brominated flame-retardants.
