Avient’s specialty Edgetek™ PEEK formulations are capable of withstanding extreme operating environments, and should be considered for use particularly where other engineered polymers have failed. Ideal for metal replacement, these formulations can deliver robust performance in harsh environments without compromising physical integrity.

Taken one step further, applicators designed to control dispensing and complement the product’s formulation are an even bigger hit. TPEs are compatible with most municipal recycle streams and special grades can be formulated with renewable content.

OnColor NIR sortable black and dark colored solutions have been formulated to ensure black and dark packaging is detectable by current waste sorting equipment. The formulation used enables black packaging of various polymers to be sorted into the correct polymer stream, and sent for recycling instead of landfill or incineration, which is a key requirement of the circular economy system.

ECCOH™ Specialty Solutions Helping Cable Manufacturers Meet CPR Standards PRODUCT BULLETIN ECCOH™ Low Smoke and Fume Non-Halogen (LSFOH) formulations offer a range of non- halogen, flame retardant solutions that enable manufacturers to meet the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) standards set out by the harmonized European Standard, EN13501. During a fire, ECCOH formulations eliminate the production of corrosive gas and toxic fume emissions, and generate a low amount of smoke, meaning they meet the highly demanding Euroclass designations—Class B2ca and Cca—as well as being suitable for other classes such as Dca or Eca. Optical fiber sheathing1 5702 SEPAP 8.0 10.5 140 47 Cca Specially formulated for optical fiber applications where the SEPAP UV test is required.
