The high-impact polypropylene (PP)-based grades offer an excellent combination of impact, density, flowability, and colorability properties. In addition, several radiation-shielding grades are available to provide protection similar to lead-based materials at lighter weights or can match the density of lead when needed. Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades

High-performance thermoplastics with excellent chemical resistance, UV-blocking capability, and good impact performance for durability; available in natural grades, standard medical colors, or custom pre-colored products.

This custom Versaflex grade provides 60 Shore A hardness and superior tear strength. For the mouse feet, Avient formulated a special grade of LubriOne™ filled acetal as an improvement over the neat acetal found in traditional designs. The LubriOne grade offers a kinetic coefficient of friction value (0.108), which is roughly 50% better than that of the traditional material.

Several grades of Gravi-Tech composites used for radiation- shielding applications provide protections similar to traditional lead-based materials, yet these Gravi-Tech polymer-metal composites are 37 percent lighter. Other radiation-shielding grades are available that match the density of lead (11 gm/cm3). KEY CHARACTERISTICS The primary features and benefits of Gravi-Tech formulations are: • Customized density, offering a wide range of specific gravities from 1.2 to 11 gm/cm3 • Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades • Corrosion resistance, withstanding oxidation for long-term use and benefit • Chemical resistance, withstanding fuels, oils and other harsh chemicals • Metallization and electroplating, delivering the look and feel of metal Additional features include: • Design flexibility and processing ease • Good impact strength • Elevated heat deflection temperature PRODUCT BULLETIN TARGET MARKET AND APPLICATIONS Gravi-Tech composites are an excellent choice for applications in a full range of markets, including: Consumer Luxury packaging, golf clubs, fishing tackle, casino/gaming chips, exercise weights, hunting supplies, cutlery, appliances and hunting ammunition Healthcare X-ray shielding, nuclear medicine transport containers, and laboratory furniture and equipment Industrial Ammunition, reactor shielding, vibration and acoustical damping, military/tactical equipment, airport x-ray shielding, various food ware, building and construction equipment, inertial weighting, and underwater cable weighting Base Resin Specific Gravities Nylon 6 2.3, 2.7, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6 TPE 2.6, 3.9 TPU 2.6, 3, 4.5, 7.5, 9 PP 1.15–4 ABS 1.2–3 PPS 4 Nylon 12 4, 6.9, 11 TECHNICAL PROPERTIES Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

This low smoke and fume non-halogen (LSFOH) grade was developed to provide comparable performance to market-leading jacket materials, including PVC, while offering additional benefits to cable manufacturers needing to meet CSA Teck 90 certification. The ECCOH 5981 UV grade prevents cracking, absorbs stress, withstands low temperatures, and resists chemicals, helping to reduce damage to cable construction, mitigate risks during installation and use, and avoid costly field repairs. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Smoke mitigation • Flame resistance • Passes -40° cold impact testing • Crush resistance • UV resistance • Suitable for CSA Teck 90 specification • Excellent tensile strength (2,910 psi) • Natural grades for easy colorability MARKETS & APPLICATIONS This LSFOH thermoplastic meets critical requirements for low-voltage, armored cable jackets.
