As a result, Avient formulated these TPE materials to offer improved signal transmission up to mmWave frequencies. As device manufacturers launch 5G compatible products, phone case manufacturers need materials that facilitate mmWave transmission to maximize signal performance,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. They are a natural color TPE that can be easily colored to match design specs or branding preferences.

GHS is short for Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, a framework designed to harmonize the very different current requirements in many countries for classifying hazardous substances and mixtures, labeling them and creating appropriate hazard communication documentation for such materials. GHS strives to improve the quality and uniformity of safety and environmental information provided on hazardous materials. Therefore, they recommend a non-carcinogenic classification of these materials under GHS.
