It is likely that the health benefits surrounding coconut water are contributing to its  popularity, but did you know coconut water is highly sensitive and will only retain its important vitamins and minerals if packaged correctly?

It has good tensile, thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA) while maintaining some of the same characteristics as acetal (POM), such as excellent wear, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability.   

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly flame retardant: Flame retardancy helps prevent fire and to limit damage if one starts • Non-halogenated: During a fire, there are no ingredients to cause acidic gas emissions from the polymer, which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke: In the event of fire, people are more able to find the escape exit and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity: People are not likely to be overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping: No flaming droplets are likely to propagate a fire or injure evacuees • Manufacturing efficiency: Easy processing with a smooth surface finish MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH range of specialty polymers help manufacturers meet CPR requirements for power, control and communication cables (including optical fiber cables) used in buildings. Values reported as “typical” or stated without a range do not state minimum or maximum properties; consult your sales representative for property ranges and min/max specifications.

Because antimony trioxide is a fine powder, the most likely exposure scenario is due to dust that could form when the bags are being discharged in an industrial setting. Antimony trioxide that enters the soil will likely react with any iron, aluminum and manganese compounds that might be present in the soil to form other antimony compounds. EXPOSURE HUMAN HEALTH SAFETY ASSESSMENT Human Health Consumers are not likely to be exposed to because it is not sold directly to consumers nor are sales to consumer markets endorsed.

It is a specialized antioxidant additive that stabilizes polyolefins during processing—preventing the typical defects like discoloration, gels, and black spots—during initial, and future conversion steps and recycling loops. Values reported as “typical” or stated without a range do not state minimum or maximum properties; consult your sales representative for property ranges and min/max specifications.

Whether you’re designing for high-use, public devices or everyday home products that need to last longer, choosing the right material is more important than ever to minimize disinfectant-related failures, like cracking and crazing. Values reported as “typical” or stated without a range do not state minimum or maximum properties; consult your sales representative for property ranges and min/max specifications.

In the past, excellent aesthetics often meant compromising processing properties or performance attributes, like slow demolding speed, abrasion or stain resistance. Values reported as “typical” or stated without a range do not state minimum or maximum properties; consult your sales representative for property ranges and min/max specifications.
