Versaflex HC grades give customers confidence that the materials will comply with regulatory requirements. This formulation meets the requirements of the ISO 15759 standard for medical infusion equipment, and can be steam autoclaved using temperatures up to 121°C.

The company’s product engineers developed specifications that included thermal conductivity in plane from 4 to 21 W/m.K (in compliance with ASTM E1461); glow wire resistance of 850°C/0.8mm (IEC 606095-2-12); and enough dimensional stability to allow it to be overmolded directly on LED components. A collaborative team from the two companies looked at potential options before developing a material that combined two grades of Avient’s Therma-Tech™ thermal management formulations. 

Six standard grades are available, ranging in hardness levels from 40 – 85 Shore A. Additional food contact compliance grades are also available.   Avient’s new LubriOne Internally Lubricated Formulations made without PTFE are available across multiple polymer systems with comparable performance capabilities to conventional internally lubricated grades.  

LUXEMBOURG – October 12, 2021 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, today unveiled new bio-filled polymer grades at the international trade fair for plastics processing, Fakuma.  Nymax™ PIR post-industrial recycled nylon formulations: This portfolio features standard and custom-formulated nylon 66 and nylon 6 grades. Standard grades contain from 20 to 100 percent recycled content.
