PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
LSR has a long-standing track record of use in the medical industry.
Medical-grade TPEs can rival LSR in biocompatibility performance, depending on their chemistry.

Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives
PTFE-free and Non-halogen for Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a material of choice for E&E
products as it provides very good impact strength,
dimensional stability, and heat resistance.Some
applications require the use of flame-retardant
solutions to increase safety and ensure compliance
with fire hazard standards.
Polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE), which is classed as a per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is often used as
an anti-drip agent.
Avient’s PTFE-free and non-halogen Cesa™ Flame
Retardant Additives for polycarbonate are
formulated without PTFE and are non-halogen in
accordance with the IEC 61249-2-21 standard.

Low Noise Coatings for PTFE/FEP
Other PTFE coaxial cores may also be treated with low noise dispersions.

LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations –
PTFE-free Solutions
LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations are
self-lubricating polymers, offering low coefficients
of friction (COF) and improved wear-resistance
properties for molded parts.
Extending the existing portfolio, PTFE-free
LubriOne Internally Lubricated Formulations
are made without polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE).
This helps customers adhere to proposed
regulatory restrictions surrounding the use of
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) of which PTFE
is classified as.

For styrenic-based TPEs, the gate depth (D) should be 25-35% of the TPE component’s wall
thickness at the gate entrance; 35-50% for urethane-based TPEs.
Instead,
alternative carriers, such as EVA, LDPE or polyurethane may be required.
