Specifically,
these additives have been proven to be effective
inhibiting E. coli and MRSA across these resins:
• TPE/TPU • PET
• HDPE • ABS
• POM • PP
• PC
Custom formulations can be validated for various
resin types, and under specific processing
conditions, at an independent testing lab to ensure
results in commercialization.

THE CHALLENGE
The automotive industry is increasingly turning to engineered
thermoplastics to replace metal parts, thereby achieving
benefits of lower weight for greater fuel efficiency, increased
design freedom to incorporate larger numbers of sophisticated
components, and lower costs from elimination of secondary
fabrication steps.
HellermannTyton designers believed that engineered
thermoplastics were the answer.

TRILLIANT™ XR
Thermoplastics for Radiation Shielding
Trilliant™ XR thermoplastic solutions provide a
radiation-shielding alternative to the use of lead
in healthcare imaging equipment.
Trilliant XR radiation shielding
thermoplastics are excellent alternatives to lead.
Inherently, thermoplastics offer exceptional design
freedom for complex parts.

Challe
nge Accepted.
The tripod designers consulted with the
advanced composite product experts at Avient, and
trialed several formulations of Polystrand™ continuous
fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites.
The thermoplastic
polymer base resin used also enables recyclability
to support the company’s sustainability goals.
