A manufacturer of high-speed, electronic connectors for the telecommunications industry had a customer that needed a connector for a new, low-cost computer it was developing. Because they knew Avient could help, the connector company’s design engineers invited Avient into the development process. Avient’s development team went back to work and quickly developed a flame-retardant grade that meets UL requirements for a V0 rating.
