Avient continues to develop innovative engineered materials to help customers achieve their sustainability goals,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. In both cases, we’re making it easier for customers to switch to sustainable options by providing comparable performance to traditional materials.” For further environmental protection, the new Edgetek™ PKE materials include an NHFR additive, providing flame retardant performance to the UL94 V0 standard.

When adding color to TPU materials for use in wire and cable applications, it is important to maintain the original TPU performance characteristics. Additives can also be used to further enhance the performance characteristics of TPU materials and help customers reach end use specifications. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. As shown in the tables below, PolyOne materials such as Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials can offer improved resistance to cracking from disinfectants. When this improved chemical resistance is combined with excellent melt flow, flame resistance, UV resistance, and appearance, it’s easy to see why Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials are becoming the materials of choice for rigid medical device housings.

Material experts from Avient will be at booth 5106 in Hall B5 to meet with customers and discuss their material challenges. Avient Corporation provides specialized and sustainable materials solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.
