At the same time, this material makes the housing lighter and more compact than aluminum. Design freedom – Stat-Tech material is injection moldable, enabling function integration and thin wall housing construction, without compromising dimensional stability. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

When used with a catalyst masterbatch, these materials enable the manufacturing of thermoset insulation using the silane chemical crosslinking process. This material meets the industry standards typical for cable insulation. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Avient has served the healthcare industry for decades with a full portfolio of innovative materials and services. TEST METHOD Fifteen bars of each material were placed into jigs at 1% and 2% strain. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

With appropriate material selection and part design optimization, long carbon fiber materials can reduce the weight of components up to 50% compared to aluminum. DESIGN & DEPLOY WITH CONFIDENCE Transitioning from traditional materials to long fiber composites requires an integrated approach that includes material formulation, component design, and forming process. This is the best way to maximize long fiber performance and get the most benefit from material change.

It wanted to avoid the brittleness, cracking and resulting product recalls and added costs that happen when the material is put in contact with harsh disinfectants. The manufacturer was struggling to find a replacement material with excellent chemical resistance and a high flame retardant rating. During stress testing, materials were exposed for seven days at either 1.0% strain or 1.5% strain.

Although a very durable material, metal can present a challenge as it can become slippery when wet. Achieving the non-slip handle Victorinox envisioned required a soft material for the new grip areas that would chemically bond to a rigid polymer underneath. Avient provided product development assistance and testing, and ultimately delivered customized materials that met strict requirements for durability.
