MILITARY-GRADE PROTECTION FOR U.S.

The company tried several TPE grades, hoping to find a material that would eliminate the adhesion problem while providing comparable softness to silicone.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Available for polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS, polycarbonate and styrenics • Bio-content of resin carrier varies from 70% to 100% depending on polymer—calculated to ASTM D6866 standard • Manufactured at four ISO 13485 certified sites, providing global consistency and security of supply • Documented change control beyond CAS number, reducing risk of change • Drop-in solutions that can be processed like fossil-based grades on common injection molding and extrusion machines • Can be provided as ready-to-use pre-colored or additive formulation REGULATORY SUPPORT • Raw materials tested to: - ISO 10993-1 - USP and (incl. class VI) - European Pharmacopeia, monograph 3.1.3/ 3.1.5 (polyolefin packaging materials) - USP (polyethylene) - Elemental impurities as per ICH Q3D • Registered Drug Master File (Type III) and/or Device Master File • Food contact according to US FDA and APPLICATION BULLETIN Sustainability Spotlight Bio-polymers Healthcare use limitations apply—see below.

This solution includes two grades, one for polyamide and the other for polyester fibers.

The first grades in the series offer an industry-first product carbon footprint (PCF) between -0.46 to -0.02.

COLOR SOLUTIONS • OnColor™ Polymer Colorants customized to customer’s requirements are color matched taking into consideration the recycled resin grade specificities and application requirements

LENSES AND DRAs PREPERM grades have stable and well controlled dielectric constants up to 23.

MARKETS & APPLICATIONS • Thermoformed, APET food packaging, including: - Hot steam sterilization - Hot fill - Microwave use • Polyester • Sheet extrusion & thermoforming KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Suitable for hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and microwave applications • Ideal for food-grade containers with high rigidity and improved gas barrier • Can withstand temperatures up to 100°C • Available in both transparent and opaque options • Processable on existing thermoforming lines with heated molds KEY BENEFITS • A fully circular monomaterial, up to 100% rPET polymer content • Promotion of the circularity of PET and the resulting packaging is possible • Helps customers to comply with the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) that demands recyclability of all packaging with binding PCR content targets by 2030 • Demonstrates improved productivity in comparison to CPET during thermoforming • Helps avoid possible EPR fees or penalties on difficult-to-recycle packaging PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2025, Avient Corporation.

To support these device needs, Avient developed the NEUSoft™ Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPUs) product line for in-vivo applications in standard and customizable grades.

Available in unfilled, impact-modified and flame-retardant grades, these formulations deliver comparable physical and mechanical performance to conventional PC blends.
