MATERIAL BREAKTHROUGH: VERSAFLEX™ CE BLUE JEAN STAIN RESISTANT TPES FOR WHITE OR LIGHT-COLORED PHONE CASES Phone case brands have struggled to design white or light-colored cases that do not stain when in contact with blue jeans. Until now, silicone was the only proven material that was resistant to staining, but silicone produces a long list of challenges to phone case brands: lengthy lead times, supply chain issues, and manufacturing complexities. Based on visual test results TECHNICAL BULLETIN TEST METHOD: INDIGO STAIN RESISTANCE TEST The same rigorous method used to test for staining on automotive interior seats, Ford Laboratory Test Method – BN 107-01, was used.

MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT CRACKING AND CRAZING Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing disinfectant-related failures DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE ON POLYMER HOUSINGS Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital- acquired infections can damage equipment and result in material failures, such as: • Stress cracking • Crazing • Discoloration CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS VARY BY ENVIRONMENT • Patient/exam rooms • Operating and radiology rooms • Reception areas • Home (patient equipment & devices) Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip the performance of traditional polymers.

The material adds value to this insulation in myriad ways: • Good flame retardancy with low smoke, toxicity & corrosiveness • Excellent mechanical properties • Good surface smoothness • Ambient moisture curing with good Hot Set Test • Very good electrical properties Manufacturing of cable insulation with ECCOH XL 8001 is done using silane chemical crosslinking. This technology offers manufacturing efficiencies versus other crosslinking methods: • Reduction in logistics management: No secondary steps after manufacturing; no need for E-beam radiation for effective crosslinking • Rapid ambient curing: Typically in less than 15 days depending on the climatic condition, wall thickness and catalyst level • No additional capital investment: The material can be processed on a conventional extrusion line • Easy handling: ECCOH XL 8001 is used with 2.5–5% of catalyst masterbatch • No pre-drying: No need to pre-dry the material if it is stored correctly PRODUCT BULLETIN KEY CHARACTERISTICS Avient’s ECCOH line of highly flame retardant, non-halogenated materials limits the emission of corrosive gases when burning. Highly flame retardant—helps to prevent a fire, or limit the damage if one starts • Non-halogenated—in the case of a fire, there are no acid gas emissions which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke—in the event of fire, people can locate escape routes, and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity—in the event of a fire, people are not overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping—no flaming droplets which can further propagate the fire or cause injury • Low emission of corrosive gases when burned—avoids potential damage to electrical components and equipment, and improves human safety MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH XL 8001 is a flame retardant material for thermoset cable insulation.
