We have modified the existing ASTM D903 method for plastics in order to evaluate the adhesion of soft TPEs onto rigid thermoplastic. ENGINEERING PLASTIC SUBTRATES There are a number of plastic substrates that are used for various consumer applications. A single TPE chemistry can not bond to all the rigid plastic substrates as evidenced by the surface energies demonstrated in Figure 1.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • Changes in laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • Our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials (APM); • An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.

If these materials are used in hot runner tools with dead zones or self-insulating runner systems, gels of cross-linked TPE may be sloughed into the flow path, partially blocking thin areas such as gates or part walls. However, we do not recommend the use of self-insulating runner systems for SBS or SEBS TPEs, due to the dead zones and potential for polymer degradation.

Ideal insulation jacketing choice for low-voltage power-and-cable control cables. Category cable insulation and cross-webs

These materials outperform nylon 6 and flexible PVC with better flexibility, lower moisture absorption, better insulation properties, and they are RoHS compliant. Good insulation between phases – Our materials deliver dielectric properties better than nylon and equivalent to flexible PVC, helping to prevent arc flash across the phases.
