Its design team determined the need for a soft-touch material with strong chemical resistance and color stability for the mouse grip. Further, they needed a low-wear, low- friction material for the mouse feet. The material facilitates two-shot molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly.

Whether you are choosing an alternative material like our Polystrand composite sandwich panels or continuous fiber laminates to strengthen the impact resistance of your current systems, Avient can custom formulate a solution to meet your performance needs. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

MEETING FR GOALS IN DATA CABLES WITH AN ALTERNATIVE TO FEP Maxxam FR materials can provide cost savings and improved processing capabilities when used in category 5e cables and above. Not only is the material costly, it can also be challenging to process and use in thin wall cable applications. After Avient delivered test data for pair combinations and the manufacturer’s team completed material trials, they were able to replace FEP with Maxxam FR material in four out of four insulation pairs.
