THE SOLUTION
In the development of the Caplex PRO-002, Humotech
sought a material solution that would provide high
torque, flexibility, and durability for key components of
the foot.
They looked to the engineering team
at Avient for material selection and manufacturing
guidance.
Avient’s team of engineers was very helpful in
determining the right materials and refining our
manufacturing process,” said Josh Caputo, president
and CEO of Humotech.

FireCon™ CPE
Chlorinated Polyethylene Jacketing Materials
FireCon™ CPE formulations are flame-retardant
jacketing materials designed for use in low-voltage
power and control cables which are routinely
exposed to harsh chemicals and low temperatures.
The materials are compounded with fillers, flame-
retardants, additives and stabilizers to provide a
customized desired level of performance.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

PREPERM™ Solutions for Automotive Radars
Millimeter frequencies put the performance of RF materials into a real test.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
PREPERM materials are
also used in these
applications:
• GNSS antennas
• High dielectric
constant lenses
• V2X communication
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-11/gls-acqua-plose-case-study.pdf
The material was
formulated specifically for sensitive applications such as
still and mineral water.
In addition, the material was engineered for
good bonding and adhesion to aluminum closures.
Brand owners are seeking
more easily recycled materials, such as aluminum,
and closurelogic’s use of TPE cap liners satisfy all
three challenges—water quality, seal integrity and
sustainability.

Biopolymers may be manufactured from
renewable materials such as corn and sugar cane
and can be biodegradable, meaning they degrade
under biological—mainly microbial—conditions.
The pigments and ingredients contained in Avient’s
bio colorants have been tested in independent
laboratories who assessed the compliancy of those
materials according to standard EN 13432 for
content of heavy metals, and toxicity to plants.
