THE SOLUTION Because they knew Avient could help, the connector company’s design engineers invited Avient into the development process. After this exhaustive evaluation, Avient’s solution was selected for two key reasons: • The Avient material met the targeted cost and performance targets • Avient’s approach, support and responsiveness were exactly the type of partnership the manufacturer needed. THE IMPACT Avient’s solution was a unique, nylon-based material that met the all of the application’s performance requirements.

However, regulators are pushing for bans on the use of this material, especially in Europe. Device manufacturers will also experience a reduction in overall exposure to this material.
