https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Disinfectant Resistant Trilliant and Versaflex HC Materials Program Bulletin_0.pdf
Trilliant™ HC high performance formulations were
developed for specific healthcare enclosure needs,
including:
• Chemical resistance to common disinfectants
• UL 94 ratings of 5VA at 3.0, V-0 at 1.5 mm &
V-1 at 0.75 mm
• Retained color aesthetics after chemical
exposure
• Ability to utilize existing PC/PET & COPE tooling
Tested using an adaptation from ASTM D543 for
environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR),
15 bars of each material were placed into jigs at
1% and 2% strain.
Fully fractured bars were given the
lowest rating.

Gel migration is measured using a quantitative internal method
* 6151 can be supplied with UV protection
* Values concluded from the simulation of materials rheological data and modelling standard extrusion tooling
Pressure: can affect extruder performance, higher pressure gives a lower output at the same rpm
Shear rate: has a relation with self-cleaning of the walls and mixing conditions
Stress: can affect the surface of the product, less stress gives a better surface aspect

This process
allows greater control over production tolerances,
which can lead to reduced scrap rates, improved
quality and optimized processing capabilities.
In
fact, case studies have shown scrap rates can be
reduced from 30% to less than 1%.
