Avient Launches Halogen-Free Flame-Retardant TPE Grades Made with Sustainable Raw Materials for USB-C Cable Jackets Avient Launches Halogen-Free Flame-Retardant TPE Grades made with sustainable raw materials for USB-C Cable Jackets.

Homepage // News Center // Avient Launches Medical TPE Grades Formulated Without Animal Derivatives Commercially available in North America, the new specialty Versaflex grades are translucent and offer excellent colorability. All eight grades in the new series are also ISO 10993-4 and -5, REACH SVHC, and RoHS compliant.

They are available across multiple polymer systems and provide comparable performance to conventional internally lubricated grades (link to full press release above). Suitable for various polycarbonates, including recycled grades, these flame-retardant additives help achieve GWFI temperatures up to 960°C according to IEC 60695-2-12 testing protocols (link to full press release above).   Colorant Chromatics™ High-Temperature Colorants - Avient and BASF are now collaborating to offer colored grades of Ultrason® high-performance polymers to the global market.

The figure below illustrates the effect of shear rate on the viscosity of GLS styrenic TPEs (measured at 390°F (200°C)). To obtain information regarding the viscosity of an individual grade, refer to the Product Technical Data Sheet. For shrinkage values for specific grades, please refer to the product technical data sheet.

This project combined PolyOne’s strengths and expertise – distributed medical-grade materials, FDA-compliant colorants, pre-colored medical grade polymers, and design and processing support – to create color consistency and accelerated product development for the Dexcom G6 CGM. Colorant Chromatics™ High Temperature Formulations and Color Concentrates: High-temperature (above 300°F/150°C) polymers and colorant / functional additive packages for healthcare applications Trilliant™ HC Thermoplastics: High-performance formulations with excellent chemical resistance and durability for medical device enclosures; available in standard grades or customized formulations from an array of base polymers 

IVD applications in Classes B, C and D will need to go through a Notified Body (NB) evaluation – only class A can be self-certified. An enforced gap analysis of technical documentation may show that current plastic resin grades or masterbatches do not have adequate change control, and there are insufficient change agreements with suppliers For higher risk IVD, the gap analysis may also reveal that current resin grades or masterbatches don’t have sufficient regulatory assumptions, e.g., they are not verified for elemental impurities (ICH Q3D) 

Answering the market need for flame retardance and low smoke performance, the Plenstar series includes five grades of cable jacketing materials.  We are excited to provide multiple grades of plenum materials supported by our unsurpassed regulatory, processing and material science expertise.” Addressable applications for the Plenstar series are Cat 3 to Cat 6 multi-conductor cables with a 75°C UL temperature rating, passing UL 444. 

PP carrier is not recommended for softer grades, as the formulation hardness will be affected. If using a specialty overmolding grade, follow the coloring recommendations given on the individual product Technical Data Sheet. Harder grades (> 50 Shore A) will set up faster in the mold compared to very soft grades (< 20 Shore A).
