MATERIAL BREAKTHROUGH: VERSAFLEX™ CE BLUE JEAN STAIN RESISTANT
TPES FOR WHITE OR LIGHT-COLORED PHONE CASES
Phone case brands have struggled to design white or light-colored cases that do not stain when in contact
with blue jeans.
Until now, silicone was the only proven material that was resistant to staining, but silicone
produces a long list of challenges to phone case brands: lengthy lead times, supply chain issues, and
manufacturing complexities.
Based on visual test results
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
TEST METHOD: INDIGO STAIN RESISTANCE TEST
The same rigorous method used to test for staining on automotive interior seats, Ford Laboratory Test
Method – BN 107-01, was used.

MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT
CRACKING AND CRAZING
Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing
disinfectant-related failures
DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE
ON POLYMER HOUSINGS
Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital-
acquired infections can damage equipment
and result in material failures, such as:
• Stress cracking
• Crazing
• Discoloration
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS
VARY BY ENVIRONMENT
• Patient/exam rooms
• Operating and radiology rooms
• Reception areas
• Home (patient equipment & devices)
Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must
be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip
the performance of traditional polymers.

The material adds value to this
insulation in myriad ways:
• Good flame retardancy with low smoke,
toxicity & corrosiveness
• Excellent mechanical properties
• Good surface smoothness
• Ambient moisture curing with good
Hot Set Test
• Very good electrical properties
Manufacturing of cable insulation with ECCOH XL
8001 is done using silane chemical crosslinking.
This technology offers manufacturing efficiencies
versus other crosslinking methods:
• Reduction in logistics management: No
secondary steps after manufacturing; no
need for E-beam radiation for effective
crosslinking
• Rapid ambient curing: Typically in less than
15 days depending on the climatic condition,
wall thickness and catalyst level
• No additional capital investment: The
material can be processed on a conventional
extrusion line
• Easy handling: ECCOH XL 8001 is used with
2.5–5% of catalyst masterbatch
• No pre-drying: No need to pre-dry the
material if it is stored correctly
PRODUCT BULLETIN
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
Avient’s ECCOH line of highly flame retardant,
non-halogenated materials limits the emission
of corrosive gases when burning.
Highly flame retardant—helps to prevent
a fire, or limit the damage if one starts
• Non-halogenated—in the case of a fire,
there are no acid gas emissions which can
damage equipment and buildings
• Low smoke—in the event of fire, people can
locate escape routes, and fire fighters can
quickly find the source of the fire
• Low toxicity—in the event of a fire, people
are not overcome by toxic fumes
• Low dripping—no flaming droplets which
can further propagate the fire or cause injury
• Low emission of corrosive gases when
burned—avoids potential damage to
electrical components and equipment, and
improves human safety
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
The ECCOH XL 8001 is a flame retardant material
for thermoset cable insulation.
