Applications ranging from trucking and trailers to pipeline reinforcement benefit from the light weight, high strength and impact resistance of continuous glass fiber reinforced rPET.
In addition, Avient will also highlight composite materials and engineered-fiber solutions that offer high strength, weight reduction, and corrosion resistance for products across a broad range of industries and markets:

If a reinforced substrate material is used a high hardness abrasion resistant steel may be required.
Most GLS materials overmolding materials are generally non-abrasive / non-corrosive and replicate the mold surface fairly well.
For conventional cold runner tools, full-round runners are best because they provide the lease resistance to flow and minimize cooling in the runner.

This small drop can be a game-changer in efficiencies
for a typical PVC extruder.
THE IMPACT
As tests and trials were conducted, it was shown that
the Excelite dispersion interacted more intimately and
consistently with PVC resin, essentially becoming part
of the PVC resin matrix.
To illustrate, in the same PVC dryblend (pictured below),
Excelite significanty reduced density with little to no
effect on cell quality.

ECCOH™ Low Smoke & Fume Non-Halogen Formulation 5981
UV and chemically resistant thermoplastic for Teck 90 cable outer jackets
ECCOH 5981 UV thermoplastic is a cost-effective
material for jacketing, combining high environmental
stress crack resistance (ESCR), UV performance, good
shear strength, and flame-retardant properties for
low-voltage, armored cables.
This low smoke and fume non-halogen (LSFOH) grade
was developed to provide comparable performance to
market-leading jacket materials, including PVC, while
offering additional benefits to cable manufacturers
needing to meet CSA Teck 90 certification.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Smoke mitigation
• Flame resistance
• Passes -40° cold impact testing
• Crush resistance
• UV resistance
• Suitable for CSA Teck 90 specification
• Excellent tensile strength (2,910 psi)
• Natural grades for easy colorability
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
This LSFOH thermoplastic meets critical
requirements for low-voltage, armored cable jackets.
