BENEFITS OF THE CHEMICAL FOAMING PROCESS • Standard equipment compatibility: Maxxam formulations can be processed using standard extrusion equipment, eliminating the need for specialized machinery • Chemical foaming formulation: No investment in gas injection systems or procurement of gas is required • High foaming rates: Achieve up to a 60% foaming rate, optimizing material properties while maintaining performance • Adapted temperature profile: These foamable grades are formulated to work effectively within a tailored temperature profile, offering consistent quality MAXXAM PP COPOLYMERS ARE SPECIALLY FORMULATED TO DELIVER • High-temperature performance: Suitable for applications requiring resistance to elevated temperatures • High foaming rate for cellular formulations: Contributes to better electrical properties due to low density • Excellent mechanical properties: Provides durability and reliability in demanding environments KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF CELLULAR PP FORMULATIONS • Fully formulated PP: no need for other additives • Can be based on chemical foaming agents which are not hazardous substances for a sustainable production process • No need for gas injection • Excellent surface finish and uniform cell structure • Excellent electrical properties to reach stringent capacitance • Low shrinkage • Adapted for skin-foam-skin or foam-skin design • Higher temperature resistance compared to PE • Good crush resistance MARKETS & APPLICATIONS IN WIRE & CABLE • Communication cables such as telecom and data cables • Twisted wire pairs • Coaxial cables

The reSound BIO portfolio consists of grades compatible with overmolding onto PP and ABS. Chemically Compatible TPEs for Cosmetic Packaging

The result: an ever-expanding portfolio of colorants and additives that are compatible with all thermoplastic processes utilized by the industry, and that combine creativity with production efficiency for our customers. They are manufactured at ISO 13485 certified sites with bio-compatible raw materials and documented change control. REDUCED MATERIAL USE Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) Mevopur CFA products are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and of polymer solutions for healthcare applications.

Traditional vulcanized rubber products require application of adhesives to bond to the closure, and this adhesive bond has a greater potential for failure than the chemical bond formed between a TPE and  polymer substrate. The adhesive is also an additional component of the container system that must be evaluated for compatibility before use.

Bio-compatible Chemically resistant

Compatible with a broad range of materials, including:  •    Polypropylene •    Polyethylene •    Ionomer-based chemistries •    PVC •    Acrylics •    Engineered thermoplastics Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents

Customer success story with a medical device company using Avient’s Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Bio-compatible Premier Healthcare Colorants: Intended specifically for medical applications, the pre-colored solutions that are fully bio-compatible per ISO 10993 standards helped provide a customer that manufactures medical devices with ultra-high-heat resistance and performance for its orthopedic instruments without compromising safety. 

Check paper type to ensure compatibility.                                           Check paper type for compatibility.                                         

Manufacturer Gunei Chemical Industry Co. Excellent chemical resistance Very compatible with thermoset & thermoplastic resins

Finally, the OnFlex-S HF grade was developed to bond sufficiently and be chemically compatible with polypropylene. Natural grades can be colored during processing with compatible products from Avient’s OnColor™ color concentrate line. • The non-halogenated solution has a density 0.4 g/cm3 less than a traditional halogenated material, and this density advantage makes it price competitive with the traditional solution. • High-flow properties of OnFlex S HF TPE allow the gaskets to be overmolded in multi-cavity tools (up to 12 cavities per tool).
