We have helped customers develop parts that are: • Wear-resistant: End products such as bearings and sleeves that do not require lubrication • Conductive: Electrical and/or thermal conductivity, in molded and extruded parts • X-Ray opaque: Used for medical and dental devices. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Meets critical need for thermal weldability and kink resistance • Minimizes extractables during processing • Provides excellent tensile strength • Complies with USP VI and ISO 10993-4, -5, -11 certifications • Suitable for gamma and autoclave sterilization methods • Bio-based grade option formulated with nearly 40% Gen 1 biomass content PRODUCT OVERVIEW 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

Thermally stable Edgetek PK, with its excellent UV resistance, high purity and light weight, is an excellent high strength alternative to fluoropolymers, particularly in tougher environments.

Improved thermal insulation

This proprietary technology combines multiple layers of carbon fiber and ceramic composites applied to manufacturer-supplied steel bores, and leverages the principle of thermal inertia to accelerate heat dissipation from the barrel's bore.

A technical support team at Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and overmolding onto the rigid substrate. Avient and the manufacturer conducted a series of molding trials to establish proper part performance, and the teams also coordinated sales, engineering and technical support in tandem.

The conductive nature of the carbon fibers means these formulations can add conductivity and static dissipation performance.

According to the 2015 Special Report on Paddlesports conducted by The Outdoor Foundation, 21.7 million people reported participating in canoeing, kayaking, rafting or stand up paddling—an increase of more than 3 million enthusiasts since 2010. Plus, composites won’t conduct cold or heat as aluminum does.

Electrically non-conductive. Fiberglass thermoset composites are inherently non-conductive to prevent arcing in electrically charged environments, such as utility substations.
