Trilliant™ HC Electrically Conductive Formulations
for Precision Performance Pipette Tips
A critical design consideration for pipette tips is
the accurate measurement of finite amounts of
liquid.
High strength produces parts with greater stiffness
and warp resistance, again minimizing scrap-related
costs.

ECCOH™ Low Smoke and Fume Non-Halogen
Formulation 5983
With high environmental stress cracking resistance
for power cable jacketing
The new ECCOH™ 5983 formulation helps prevent
environmental stress cracking in low and
medium-voltage armored power cables, helping
to prevent costly cable damage and disrupted
power supply.
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
• Cable jackets for low and medium-voltage
power cables with metal armoring, typically
installed underground or where installation
requires them to be bent
• Armored cable applications that require
compliance with LTS1 requirements as per
the BS 7655-6.1 standard
IMPACT
• High environmental stress cracking resistance
• High tear strength and elongation at break at
temperatures ranging from -25°C to 90°C
• Flame retardant performance
• Limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 36%
• Exceeds BS 7655-6.1:1997 standard criteria
for LTS1–LTS4 for complex designs and
armored cables

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-02/Sustainability ESG Disclosures_Antimony Trioxide.pdf
USES AND APPLICATIONS
Antimony trioxide is predominantly used in plastics where resistance to ignition and flammability are required.
Antimony trioxide functions as a synergist, reducing the amount of halogen-based product required to achieve
desired levels of flammability resistance performance.
