The antimony vapors react with the oxygen and form a fine, white dust that is collected in a special filtration system Antimony trioxide is often used in plastic formulations in conjunction with a halogen-based chemical to reduce a product’s flammability. Antimony trioxide has the unique ability to make halogen-based plastic additives more effective in reducing the flammability of the finished plastics. Antimony trioxide functions as a synergist, reducing the amount of halogen-based product required to achieve desired levels of flammability resistance performance.

This, in turn, raises productivity and reduces system costs. Operational Improvements TPEs create the opportunity to reduce both stock items and work in progress, resulting in more efficient use of working capital. This results in reduced energy consumption.

MATERIAL REDUCES COSTS WITH LOWER SPECIFIC GRAVITY, AND HIGHER FLOW THAN COMPETITIVE TPV © 2021, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more about Versalloy™ Thermoplastic Vulcanizate, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) or visit avient.com. In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs. Higher productivity: The improved flow properties of the Versalloy solution enabled the hose manufacturer to increase throughput by two seconds, which in turn reduced total system costs.
