Tie Rods or Tie Bars These are the major tension elements in the load path.

In wire and cable, thermoplastics and composites serve to protect by providing electrical insulation, flame 2 AVIENT CORPORATION resistance, durability, water resistance, water swelling and color coding to engineered fibers, yarn products, wire coatings and connectors. In the medical industry, plastics are used for a vast array of devices and equipment, including blood and intravenous bags, medical tubing, catheters, lead replacement for radiation shielding, clamps and connectors to bed frames, curtains and sheeting, electronic enclosures and equipment housings. The USEPA issued 55 AVIENT CORPORATION its Record of Decision (ROD) in September 2018, selecting a remedy consistent with our accrual assumptions.
