The company was producing wire for USE-2 (Underground Service Entrance) applications in solar systems. To comply with all of these standards meant covering the wire with more than one layer of jacketing and insulation materials – and that meant running the product through the extruder more than once.  It also complied with the critical standards – UL 4703 for photovoltaic wire, UL 44 for indoor use and VW-1 for flame resistance – enabling streamlined production of wires and cables that meet virtually all specifications for solar USE-2 applications.

During processing, polymers often degrade due to oxygen and heat exposure which causes such things as discoloration, gels, and black spots. It is a specialized antioxidant additive that stabilizes polyolefins during processing—preventing the typical defects like discoloration, gels, and black spots—during initial, and future conversion steps and recycling loops. Sustainability Spotlight Recycle Solutions KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Designed for polyolefin recycling and to enhance circularity • Protects polyolefins against degradation caused by oxygen and heat during processing • Provides improved stability against oxygen degradation and discoloration • Stabilizes the polymer to reduce creation of new gels and black spots • Excellent performance at low dosage levels MARKETS & APPLICATIONS • Recycled polyolefins • Packaging, consumer & others • High-value polyolefin applications with recycled material content • Virgin polymers which will be recycled after the use phase Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.
