Application Overview Protecting your CEEE Applications from Counterfeiters Discover how Avient's in-plastic solution can protect against counterfeiting in E&E applications

These innovative materials, together with PolyOne’s technical know-how and design insight, enable our customers to develop strong, lightweight, and durable products, from concept phase to finished component, across a wide range of markets and applications.” PolyOne’s continuous fiber reinforced composites provide high strength and lightweight performance for applications in the automotive, heavy truck, marine, consumer, industrial, and electrical transmission and distribution markets. The CAMX exhibit will highlight several application examples featuring the following composite materials:

Cesa™ Aversive Technology for Wire & Cable Protection Masterbatch additives for long-term cable protection against rats and termites, compliant with the EU Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR) PRODUCT BULLETIN PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Cesa™ Aversive Technologies are masterbatches which, when incorporated into cable jackets, provide long-term protection against gnawing by rats and termites. Avient makes no warranties or guarantees respecting suitability of either Avient’s products or the information for your process or end-use application. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

In this case, the spiral flow test was conducted using two different injection speeds (3 in/sec and 5 in/sec). Softer SEBS formulations (below 30 Shore A) will shrink more than harder materials. As a result, prototyping is strongly recommended for parts with close tolerances to better quantify the realistic shrinkage of a specific grade of material in the application.

TPEs can incorporate sustainable content in two ways: using either recycled or bio-based content in the formulations. TPEs with recycled or bio-based content can be formulated to enable brands to create more sustainable plastic products. If you’d like assistance evaluating the pros and cons of using sustainable TPEs in your applications, contact us.
