In addition,
these films contain an anti-fogging additive
specially formulated not to compromise any of this
easy-peel functionality.
There were several key challenges that had to
be met in the development of this specialty
formulation.

Facing these challenges, engineers from a leading
global wire and cable manufacturer approached Avient
to explore new material formulations that would
also improve processability and productivity without
sacrificing stringent flame and data performance
requirements.
THE IMPACT
When compared with FEP, Maxxam FR formulations offer
significant cost savings and improve processing ease.
