These materials outperform nylon 6
and flexible PVC with better flexibility, lower moisture absorption, better insulation properties, and they are
RoHS compliant.
Unlike flexible PVC, which loses flexibility
over time, Avient materials do not fail over the
MCCB’s service life (approximately 10 years).
Easier to install – Our TPEs are more flexible than
nylon and flexible PVC, which makes the MCCB
easier to install, service and inspect.
