A leading manufacturer/distributor in this market was faced with quality inconsistencies and supply availability issues with flat springs that were initially specified for their vibratory conveyors. With a high-heat flat spring option, manufacturers can potentially reduce overall conveyor system costs compared to higher priced coil spring systems. Made in the USA Avient’s Gordon Composites vibratory springs are manufactured in Montrose, Colorado using materials sourced from US suppliers.

The manufacturer was struggling to find a replacement material with excellent chemical resistance and a high flame retardant rating. Although PVC is one option, this manufacturer needed a colorable, drop-in replacement for PC/ABS. THE SOLUTION The manufacturer approached Avient with its challenge.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) for Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical Packaging As the need to integrate sustainability in the design of healthcare products is growing, manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging are looking for materials with a more environmentally-friendly profile. They are specially formulated for healthcare applications and manufactured under controlled conditions. It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.

So HIVIZ product development engineers aimed their sights on recoil reduction technology for a major high-end rifle manufacturer, and it was game on. The new material, a GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) from Avient, met the rigorous needs of the high-end rifle manufacturer, and then some. HIVIZ tests all manufactured products for a minimum of 10,000 rounds.

ECCOH™ XL Cross-Linkable Solutions (8001) Moisture-cured cross-linkable, low smoke and fume, non-halogen (LSFOH) formulations for flame retardant wire and cable applications ECCOH™ XL Cross-Linkable Solutions (ECCOH XL 8001) are non-halogenated flame retardant formulations for the manufacturing of thermoset cable insulation. When used with a catalyst masterbatch, these materials enable the manufacturing of thermoset insulation using the silane chemical crosslinking process. Manufacturers of cable insulation who require flame retardance in their products benefit from ECCOH XL 8001.
