It has good tensile, thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA) while maintaining excellent wear and chemical resistance. The improved chemical resistance and lower moisture absorption properties combine with the eco-conscious benefits to make Edgetek™ PKE and long fiber Complēt™ PKE polyketone composites an excellent choice for powersports applications that require consistent performance across different and demanding environments. APPLICATION BULLETIN IMPROVED CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Engineered polyketone delivers excellent performance against aggressive chemicals, like H2SO4 for batteries (Figure 1), and performs similarly to nylon against typical chemicals tested in powersports, such as gasoline* (Figure 2).

POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC TAPES STRONG, IMPACT RESISTANT, LIGHTWEIGHT Formulated with glass fiber reinforcement and engineered thermoplastic resins, these continuous fiber composites offer reduced weight while maintaining exceptional strength and impact resistance. FIBER-LINE™ THERMOPLASTIC TAPES STRONG, CREEP RESISTANT, CHEMICAL RESISTANT Fiber-Line Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes are formulations composed of a wide range of fibers that are uniquely engineered to enhance fiber performance—such as twisting and coating— and then custom manufactured into a composite tape with a thermoplastic resin. Engineered Fiber Thermoplastic Tapes provide excellent strength-to-weight and creep resistance suitable for demanding composite applications.

Colorants & Additives for Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Wire & Cable Applications Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) has excellent mechanical performance, chemical and abrasion resistance. Avient Additives for Wire & Cable • Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives: Flame- retardant additives that add or improve flame resistance. The inclusion of these additives can help a cable to pass flame resistance tests, even if the resin originally used is not flame retardant • Cesa™ Light Additives: UV light stabilizers that improve weather resistance and provide long term protection against weather degradation • Semi-conductive TPU formulations to enhance cable performance • Cesa™ Laser Additives: Includes laser-marking additives for durable cable marking.

As a visible outdoor part, the material needed good UV resistance, scratch resistance, impact resistance, and a matte finish. The Maxxam REC Recycled Polyolefin formulations met the required technical specifications, including good UV resistance, scratch resistance, impact resistance, and with a matte finish, making them suitable for use in the cubyko leaf waterproof outdoor socket.

Under the Maxxam™ brand, standard grades are formulated with any combination of calcium carbonate, glass fiber, mica and talc to provide a desired balance of properties, including stiffness, durability, impact resistance and heat resistance. Offers a moderate level of stiffness over the unfilled materials as well as improved drop impact strength. • UL approved • FDA certifiable • Natural, black or colors • High flow grades • UV stabilized • Recycled content • Scratch & mar resistant • UL approved • FDA certifiable • Natural, black or colors • High flow grades • UV stabilized PROPERTY CONDITION UNITS METHOD PRODUCT EXAMPLES 6 Provides the maximum strength and heat resistance among polypropylene compounds.

CUSTOM SOLUTION PROVIDES SIGNAL DAMPING AND HEAT RESISTANCE FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR CASE STUDY: BERGAMID™ NYLON FORMULATIONS Challe nge Accepted. It must also have the required heat resistance, be strong enough to maintain a tight electrical connection and be flexible enough to allow a snap fit. • Avoid over-engineering – The new connector must be designed to meet the targeted requirements accurately, without over engineering, thus avoiding the costs of higher-than-needed performance levels. • Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector. Working closely with the manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material required a special combination of properties: • A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of signal dampening prescribed • Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective electrical connection and at the same time allow for snap-fit installation • A cost-effective solution that would enable the manufacturer to compete in this new market Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more than 30 different materials.
