"Trinseo can now produce and offer global OEMs medically-equivalent compounds with its CALIBRE™ Polycarbonate Resins in Asia Pacific," said Martin Lindway, global medical business manager. "Companies and sourcing managers need exceptional quality in a cost effective solution, and regional regulatory and technical support services for compliance, speed to market and security of supply. Trinseos new global production and fulfillment model is focused on meeting these three critical needs."
Trinseo will also highlight its MAGNUM™ ABS Resins and EMERGE™ Advanced Resins for single- and multiple-use devices and equipment housings. These materials address some of the industrys critical challenges, including the need for home health care, point of care devices, drug delivery, and wearable devices.

During MD&M West, Trinseo will also announce results from its recent collaboration with Henkel Corporation, the world market leader in adhesives, sealants and functional coatings. Henkel and Trinseo tested the compatibility of various Trinseo plastics and Henkel adhesives and found that when used together the materials optimize application assembly.
