In parts that fill from a thin wall to a thick section, the polymer may break away from the wall as it enters the thick section. Lower elongation grades are easier to run in automatic degating tools. For high elongation SEBS grades, hot runner tools with valve gates can be used.

Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Avient Additives for Wire & Cable • Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives: Flame- retardant additives that add or improve flame resistance. The inclusion of these additives can help a cable to pass flame resistance tests, even if the resin originally used is not flame retardant • Cesa™ Light Additives: UV light stabilizers that improve weather resistance and provide long term protection against weather degradation • Semi-conductive TPU formulations to enhance cable performance • Cesa™ Laser Additives: Includes laser-marking additives for durable cable marking.

We are thrilled to add the Dyneema® brand and its unique technologies to Avient, further expanding our growing composites portfolio,” said Robert M. The addition of the Dyneema portfolio will raise Avient’s material offerings to the highest levels on the performance spectrum of composites and engineered fibers.” This would allow Avient to remain modestly levered at 2.9x adjusted EBITDA while also expanding adjusted EBITDA margins from 12% to 18%, the highest amongst our formulator peers.”
