After fully understanding all of the requirements,
Avient’s technology team began to formulate an easy-
to-mold, durable and aesthetically pleasing specialty
polymer that provided processing flexibility and
wouldn’t require retooling.
The results showed the
Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and
had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability
rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient
also used its custom color matching capabilities to
provide pre-colored material that simplified molding,
while the material’s wide processing window helped
accommodate a variety of molding environments.
