Other essential features include color for specimen identification, colorable overmolds for caps and closures to maintain integrity, high clarity walls for content visibility, low retention and electrically conductive properties for increased measurement accuracy in pipettes, and custom formulations to avoid cross-talk for PCR plates.

Another sustainable portfolio example is Trilliant XR lead-replacement thermoplastics, which achieve critical radiation shielding protection yet avoid the regulatory, disposal, and employee exposure challenges associated with lead.

With robust bio-compatibility pre-testing, healthcare quality systems and change control standards in place, these ‘medical grade’ concentrates and pre-color formulations can help minimize risk and avoid high costs of non-compliance.

In some applications, conductivity is needed to avoid static discharge that could give a false or inaccurate reading.

This would not only avoid corrosion, but also eliminate weak spots.”

• Highly flame retardant—helps to prevent a fire, or limit the damage if one starts • Non-halogenated—in the case of a fire, there are no acid gas emissions which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke—in the event of fire, people can locate escape routes, and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity—in the event of a fire, people are not overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping—no flaming droplets which can further propagate the fire or cause injury • Low emission of corrosive gases when burned—avoids potential damage to electrical components and equipment, and improves human safety MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH XL 8001 is a flame retardant material for thermoset cable insulation.

In this regard “ubiquitous” means that this substance is omnipresent and its occurrence cannot be avoided by any technical, physical or chemical measure.

In order to optimize its profit margins, the company sought to control system costs by avoiding secondary assembly and handling.

• Deep unventable blind pockets or ribs should be avoided. • Avoid thin walls that cannot be blown off the cores by air-assist ejection. • Long draws with minimum draft may affect ease of ejection. If possible, the gate should be positioned so as to avoid obstructions (flowing around cores or pins) in the flow path. Connecting cooling lines from the A to the B plate should be avoided.

Avient offers high extraction resistant antioxidants for the inner layer, which help avoid embrittlement, loss of mechanical strength and ensure a longer service life.
