THE SOLUTION
The manufacturer worked with Avient to identify
alternatives to FEP insulation that would meet
requirements in their data cable.
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.
Upon achieving full-scale production, the manufacturer
was also able to reach line speeds of over 1,000 fpm at
thicknesses of 10 mil or below, while reducing material
costs by 33%.

For consumer products, lighter weight can mean increased safety, better ergonomics and improved handling.
At Avient we’ve developed materials that can help you reach your goals.

The search for a suitable material brought them to Avient.
The material, a highly filled polymer based on Avient’s Gravi-Tech™ technology, is specifically formulated to address health care industry needs and regulations.
In addition, the company reduced the health and environmental impact of its equipment by using an RoHS-compliant, eco-conscious and equally effective alternative to lead.
