List of polymers tested and identifying features.

To assess the results of the chemical resistance
testing, an ESCR criteria was developed that took
into consideration a visual observation as well
as the mechanical data.
It can be
seen that the PC/ABS and
PC/PET samples failed to
survive the disinfectant
exposure and produce a
testable sample.
The data in these tables clearly
shows that the Trilliant HC8900 and Edgetek ET8900
series outperformed the competitive materials
across all different disinfectant/cleaner types.

Optimal adhesion values are also obtained for
overmolds onto PC (Lexan), ABS (Cycoloy), PC/ABS(Cycolac) and PC/PBT (Xenoy) as demonstrated in Figure
5.
Thus far, the insert molding data presented here is very
encouraging and it is determined that these novel TPEs will exceed expectations in two-shot molding
environments as well.
R&D Chemist in generating a bulk of the presented
data are hereby acknowledged.

Data is reported in pounds per linear inch (pli).
For PC, ABS and PC/ABS, the adhesion values are plotted in Figure 8.
Data is reported in pounds per linear inch (pli).

Dear Valued Customer,
As part of PolyOne’s commitment to offer our customers the most value in a competitive global marketplace,
we are making changes to our Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) in order to meet the coming requirements
of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).
These new documents will be
called Safety Data Sheets (SDSs).

Solution
Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material
data based on the microstructure, tensile test data,
and micro-mechanical modelling.
Avient and Hexagon used Digimat to develop anisotropic
long fibre material data for a molded connector rod.
