These new materials also solve the long-standing problem of undesirable water absorption levels in other bio-derived polyamide materials available today. Renewable, plant-based raw materials, have been shown to offer significantly lower product carbon footprint values than typical petroleum-based feedstock. Our new Nymax BIO line of bio-based polyamide formulations exemplifies our continuous innovation in developing sustainable materials, and expands the material choices for design engineers while mitigating the risk of water absorption.” 

This growth will, in turn, drive the demand for high performing wire and cable materials. Holger Kronimus, general manager for Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne said, “As the market for optical fiber cable continues to grow, we are committed to providing innovative material solutions that help customers meet their challenges.

And because they are thermoplastic, these CFRTP materials are more easily recycled compared to thermoset materials. Up to 120" slit-to-width laminate material (125" raw edge material) Marine Application Material Solutions

The engineers tested the material for shear resistance based on the thickness of the seal. They then modified the material to offer enough heat resistance so it could be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying material that provides the gaskets’ rigidity.  The material also can be used in tools originally constructed for halogenated materials with no rework required.

Our new Versaflex CE 3130 series materials integrate lasting aesthetics and functionality,” said Matthew Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. This can occur due to improper injection molding conditions or the incompatibility of a TPE or vulcanized silicone material with certain additives. Using Versaflex non-blooming materials, brands and OEMs can achieve a premium, silky-soft overmolded surface without surface blooms.

These advanced materials will help increase speed to market and design flexibility for 5G base station antenna manufacturers. Both materials can help 5G base station antenna manufactures to streamline their design and process development.
