The wiring and cables used on offshore platforms, onboard ships and in other marine environments need to meet high standards for safety and performance.  Geographical isolation coupled with the presence of highly flammable materials in offshore activity means rigorous standards of fire safety need to be considered. When seeking a supplier of polymers for use in the wire and cable required in these for offshore and maritime applications, manufacturers should collaborate with suppliers whose experienced associates and well-equipped fire competence center can provide extensive support in the introduction of new materials that meet safety specifications and manufacturers’ demands for processing efficiency.

In booth #6-2E49, PolyOne will be demonstrating the safety, regulatory compliance and aesthetics of its TPEs and colorants for this unique application and other products specifically designed for infants and children.  The material’s soft, grippy feel improves comfort and enjoyment for the child while enhancing safety. Our materials address strong consumer demands for enhanced safety, purity, and regulatory compliance.

These advanced materials can help OEMs and processors to meet materials safety standards and reinforce sustainability goals for kitchenware and houseware products.  Product designers in the kitchenware and houseware industry are looking for materials that can meet the increasing demand for food safety and compliance, while also seeking more sustainable content,” said Flight Xu, general manager of Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for Avient, “Our innovative TPEs can meet the regulatory challenges, including FDA, EU10/2011 and China GB standard, and enhance safety without compromising performance or design freedom.

By emphasizing ergonomic design, manufacturers of healthcare products can provide greater comfort, usability and safety and increase compliance with regulatory requirements. Boosting rPET Quality and Safety in Packaging Boosting rPET Quality and Safety in Packaging
