Gel migration is measured using a quantitative internal method * 6151 can be supplied with UV protection * Values concluded from the simulation of materials rheological data and modelling standard extrusion tooling Pressure: can affect extruder performance, higher pressure gives a lower output at the same rpm Shear rate: has a relation with self-cleaning of the walls and mixing conditions Stress: can affect the surface of the product, less stress gives a better surface aspect MIGRATION OF GEL COMPOUND Gel Compound ECCOH™ 6151* ECCOH™ 6153 UV ECCOH™ 6154 UV Unigel Average Good Excellent Teroson Average Excellent Good Itcogel Average Good Excellent ECCOH™ 6151 ECCOH™ 6153 UV ECCOH™ 6154 UV ∆P (bars) 101 63 60 Shear Rate (1/s) 9 9 9 Stress (kPa) 127 79 75 Application example: Gel-filled stranded loose tube optical fiber cable www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Reference Product Name Carrier CC10087477BG 87477 EVA Anti-Rat Masterbatch EVA CC10107079BG 107079 EVA Anti-Termite Masterbatch EVA CC10125842BG 5842 EVA Multi-Repel Masterbatch EVA VALUE SOLUTION The European Union adopted Guidelines in 2015 establishing that masterbatches with biocidal function needed to be authorized for use in European Union.1 As such, masterbatch products containing aversive or repellent substances are considered as a biocidal product.2 Indeed, deterring harmful organisms is a biocidal function. TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS • Helps provide long term cable protection against rats and termites • Enables manufacturers and cable users to be compliant with EU Regulations • Easy to use, direct incorporation in the jacket, no need for additional layer to protect the cable • Helps avoid unplanned service breakdowns with associated high repair costs 1 CA-Sept15-Doc.6.2- Final 2 A masterbatch should be regarded as a biocidal product if it is has a biocidal function. In accordance with Article 3(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, destroying, deterring, rendering harmless, preventing the action of, or otherwise exerting a controlling effect on any harmful organism is a biocidal function.

Trilliant™ HC high performance formulations were developed for specific healthcare enclosure needs, including: • Chemical resistance to common disinfectants • UL 94 ratings of 5VA at 3.0, V-0 at 1.5 mm & V-1 at 0.75 mm • Retained color aesthetics after chemical exposure • Ability to utilize existing PC/PET & COPE tooling Tested using an adaptation from ASTM D543 for environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR), 15 bars of each material were placed into jigs at 1% and 2% strain. This procedure was completed by placing one 1/2 inch section of rayon gauze at the apex of each bar, and soaking the gauze with the disinfectant to saturate the material.
