Increasingly stringent FR test methods are creating
a need for breakthrough formulations that optimize
let-down ratios and can pass more rigorous
testing.
The Cesa F-Series of FR additives are non-
halogenated materials developed to pass strict test
methods, providing excellent UL 94 compliance and
successfully meeting UL 2335 and FM4998 standards.
You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing

A time-tested and successful product, the Quantum
Motor had historically used cast aluminum for its yoke.
Using the new Complēt long glass fiber nylon
formulation, the redesigned yoke underwent testing
at Bettcher to simulate 500,000 run cycles.
Avient’s team helped mitigate that risk
through education, advanced testing and technical
expertise.

MEVOPUR™ LQ
Liquid Color & Additive Concentrates for Silicone Elastomers
Silicones elastomers are materials of choice in a
wide range of medical applications because of the
combination of unique physical properties such
as strength, durability, and flexibility combined
with one of the most tested polymers in terms of
biocompatibility and hypo-allergenic properties.

In further testing, scanning electron microscopy was used
to examine the polymer-to-titanium bond.
With the new
method, the discs’ ability to withstand failure during cycle
testing was improved by a factor of 400, far exceeding the
requirement of 180,000 cycles.
Polymer Diagnostics Inc. performed a series of analytical tests with an eye toward
enhancing the polymeric core of the product.

Adhesion
The adhesion between the TPE and rigid thermoplastics substrates was measured by a “90 degree
peel test” which is a modified ASTM D903 method.
Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the test.
This test is done on overmolded plaques with TPE on top of rigid thermoplastic substrates.
