CASE STUDY: BERGAMID™ POLYMER FORMULATIONS & GLS™ TPES Challe nge Accepted. THE SOLUTION Avient engineers guided the Victorinox team early in the development cycle for the new Soldier’s Knife, proposing a combination of materials for the handles that would meet the design aspirations as well as Swiss Army standards for durability. Achieving the non-slip handle Victorinox envisioned required a soft material for the new grip areas that would chemically bond to a rigid polymer underneath.

Avient offers UL 94 compliant concentrates and flame retardant solutions which meet the latest UL 94 and Glow Wire fire standards, while also considering technical requirements, coloration options and cost efficiency. OnColor™ UL 94 Colorants* • More than 2,000 recognized concentrates available worldwide in all color options • HB rating for most of PP, PS, ABS, PC/ABS, PBT, PA, PA-GF, TPU generic resins • V-0, V-1, V-2 and 5VA/5VB ratings for more than 200 specific engineering resins • Master file of recognized concentrates with scope of use accessible in the UL product finder • Development of custom products for specific resins upon request • Compliance Letters available for REACH and RoHS Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives for Glow Wire • Fire performance in line with different levels of Glow Wire temperatures (IEC 60695-2-12) • Let-Down Ratio adjustable to reach different levels of Glow Wire temperatures • Non-halogen (in accordance with IEC 61249- 2-21) and non-HBCD** solutions • Wide range of solutions adapted to different polymers (PP, PS, PC) • Color and flame retardants can be combined in one product • Compliance Letters available for REACH and RoHS APPLICATION BULLETIN * Solutions also sold as Renol™ UL 94 Colorants APPLICATION POLYMER GWFI TEMPERATURE TYPICAL LET-DOWN RATIO CONTENT HIPS 750–960°C 5–10% Non-HBCD flame retardant** PC 850–960°C 2–4% Non-halogen in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21 PP homopolymer 850–960°C 4% Non-halogen in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21 PP copolymer 850–960°C 4–8% Antioxidant - metal deactivator ** Non-HBCD means that Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is neither used as starting material during the mixing phase of our products nor intentionally added during production, but it cannot be excluded that it is not present at level of ubiquitous traces in any of the raw materials used in manufacturing of our products. Our representatives can suggest the most suitable standard or custom solution. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.
