Innovative, rollable tripod design gains strength and durability from composites Traditional collapsible, folding tripods can be heavy and cumbersome especially when the user is lugging additional gear and equipment. Based on expertise in reducing weight and improving portability of mast structures and antennas for the military, Rolatube engineers realized the legs of the tripod could be designed to roll into a compact and portable coil, eliminating the complexity and added weight of telescopic hardware.

Reducing weight in transportation can increase safety, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions. This customer used Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) tapes and laminates in the trailer space of their heavy truck applications. Using Polystrand materials extended the life of truck trailers and reduced weight to improve fuel economy.

The new stringent testing changes will only affect packaging systems that have not yet gained regulatory approval for use in a marketed pharmaceutical product. One key change is that eight extractable elements have been taken out of USP 661.1 as these heavy metal testing requirements are addressed in another regulation, USP 232. However, Avient will continue to test these eight metals to gain insight into each element’s leaching characteristics and potential of elemental impurities which could leach, or extract, from the packaging component.
