Avient’s development team went back to work and quickly developed a flame-retardant grade that meets UL requirements for a V0 rating.

Transitions between wall thickness should be gradual to reduce flow problems such as back fills and gas traps.

Once the syringe is removed, the adapter reseals and the cap can be put back on the bottle while the device remains in place.

Inspired by regenerative ecosystems found in nature, the circular economy proposes that all goods and products find their way back into supporting the same system from which they were created once a person is finished using them. You can find ideas applying this circular ecosystem to modern economics and manufacturing as far back as post-World War II. To stay competitive and relevant, businesses must create solutions for end- of-use materials and reintegrate them back into the ecosystem.
