However, it is complex and
requires advanced data to more accurately predict
how a material will realistically perform in an end-use
application.

Solution
Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material
data based on the microstructure, tensile test data,
and micro-mechanical modelling.
Avient and Hexagon used Digimat to develop anisotropic
long fibre material data for a molded connector rod.

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.
High flame performance and a low
dielectric constant keep our equipment safe and data
moving quickly.
THE SOLUTION
The manufacturer worked with Avient to identify
alternatives to FEP insulation that would meet
requirements in their data cable.

In
analyzing competitive market data, the Compensation Committee reviewed data from a peer group of similarly-sized
United States chemical companies and reviewed data from the Consultant’s Compensation Data Bank and other
published surveys.
The CEO makes his recommendations in conjunction with the marketplace data.
Because the vote to approve Named Executive Officer compensation is advisory, there is technically no
minimum vote requirement for the proposal.
