THE IMPORTANCE OF PLASTICS FOR PACKAGING Compared to alternative materials, plastic is one of the most sustainable materials available for packaging applications. These issues can lead to “downcycling” of the material to a low-value application. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

These materials provide consistent conductivity at any location on the pipette tip, as well as from manufacturing run to manufacturing run. That’s where our material experts and design engineers can help. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Specialty Engineered Materials Wire & Cable Avient is here to help you consistently meet your flame retardant wire & cable product specification challenges head on. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Temperature fluctuations in the environment where the cable is installed can mean the armoring and the other cable materials expand and contract at different ratios, further increasing the risk of cracking in the cable jacket. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

However, regulators are pushing for bans on the use of this material, especially in Europe. Device manufacturers will also experience a reduction in overall exposure to this material. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Because these vinyl materials are a core competency of Avient, we have strong relationships virtually assuring an uninterrupted supply of dispersion resin. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT Producing plastisol in-house means managing the necessary raw materials. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
