VALUE ECCOH LSFOH grades can run at high processing speeds of up to 1,000 m/min and, with a much lower melting temperature than PBT alternatives, can greatly enhance manufacturing efficiency. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Faster processing speeds (up to 1,000 m/min) at low wall thickness (100 µm) • Increased chemical resistance • Lower gel migration • ECCOH 6153 UV - optimized for Teroson • ECCOH 6154 UV - optimized for Unigel • High color rendition and compatibility with Avient masterbatch • High UV resistance • Very low shrinkage MARKET & APPLICATIONS Optical Fiber Cables including: • Stranded loose tubes – gel-filled/dry • Micro-modules • Tight buffer applications – gel-filled/dry STANDARD COMPLIANCE • IEC 60794 • NF XP C93-850-1-1:2020 • EN 50289-4-17:2016 • ISO 4892:2016 • ST/CNET/5843 (1998) PRODUCT BULLETIN GEL MIGRATION PERFORMANCE ECCOH LSFOH 6153/6154 UV grades offer greater gel migration performance compared to alternative ECCOH grades. Performing at a lower pressure and with less stress enables a smoother surface finish and can increase processing speeds by up to 15% compared to alternative grades.

THE SOLUTION The company’s product management team reached out to Avient’s Gordon Composites group to identify an alternative spring solution. THE IMPACT Not only did the Gordon Composites vibratory springs outperform the company’s originally specified spring components, they provided a number of additional benefits: Ready-to-install springs reduced labor and simplified installation Unlike alternative springs, Gordon Composites springs are factory machined to the required size and pre- drilled for a significant reduction in cutting and drilling processes and allowing valuable labor time to be allocated elsewhere.

These properties offer manufacturers a high-performing, cost- competitive, and more eco-conscious alternative to nylons. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent chemical resistance • Low moisture uptake • Comparable dimensional stability to nylon • Reinforced with 10–40% short glass fiber • High impact and wear resistance • Cost competitive • Eco-conscious alternative to PA66 and PA6 • Non-halogen, flame retardant performance MARKETS & APPLICATIONS These glass-reinforced materials meet the challenges found in chemical, fuel contact, and high moisture environments

These DBDPE-free grades satisfy regulatory and performance demands by using an alternative flame retardant while maintaining UL 44 compliance and comparable performance to traditional Syncure XLPE materials. Extrudable and easy to process, these formulations are produced by crosslinking a polyethylene base resin and DBDPE-free catalyst using the Sioplas method, which offers significant advantages and economies over alternative crosslinking processes.

These characteristics offer manufacturers a high-performing, cost-effective and more eco-conscious alternative to nylon (PA66 and PA6) and acetal (POM). KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Inherently low COF • Excellent wear resistance • Excellent chemical resistance • Low moisture uptake • Excellent dimensional stability • Cost-effective • Eco-conscious alternative to PA66, PA6 and POM MARKETS & APPLICATIONS These materials are ideal for use in applications requiring lubricated solutions, as the formulations have improved wear, chemical, and hydrolysis resistance over nylons (PA6 or PA66).

Propellers made from polymer composites have a number of benefits over steel and aluminum alternatives, including improved impact resistance and vibration damping properties. THE IMPACT The main objective of this development work was to provide an alternative to one-piece solid aluminum and stainless-steel props while enabling similar performance.

In 1997, the Frog Legs team developed an innovative alternative to the rigid casters commonly used for the front wheels. Aware of the profound impact additional weight has on individuals with disabilities, they sought alternatives to traditional machined aluminum.

The PET packaging market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing sustainability demands, higher recycling targets, and the shift away from alternative materials such as polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP). Cesa Raise modified APET containers are also an alternative to crystallized PET (CPET) as they offer transparency and an increased productivity in the thermoforming process.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent chemical resistance • Low moisture uptake • Comparable dimensional stability to nylon • Reinforced with 10–33% glass fill • High impact and wear resistance • Eco-conscious alternative to PA66 and PA6 MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Whether using a standard or customized formulation, the PK-based Trilliant grades provide a high-performing, cost-competitive, and more eco-conscious alternative to competitive materials found in biopharmaceutical processing, hospital settings, and home healthcare applications.

LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations For Conveyor Belt Gears With high strength and durability, metal has been a reliable material for machinery parts for centuries, however, more commonly traditional materials are being replaced by plastic alternatives that offer performance, cost and sustainability benefits. EXTEND PART LIFE AND REDUCE MAINTENANCE LubriOne™ internally lubricated formulations have similar structural performance characteristics to metal, making them an ideal alternative for conveyor belt gears.
