THE SOLUTION
In the development of the Caplex PRO-002, Humotech
sought a material solution that would provide high
torque, flexibility, and durability for key components of
the foot.
THE IMPACT
The high energy storage characteristics of Gordon
Composites thermoset springs provide Humotech’s
prosthetic foot a natural flex, responding similarly to
human calf muscles with the roll and rebound required
for the patient to achieve a natural gait.

The hose manufacturer decided to explore other
material options that would meet requirements such
as excellent colorability, good surface appearance,
high flow for optimal productivity, and of course,
compliance with U.S.
In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow,
the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity
and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the
competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce
system costs.
THE IMPACT
Avient’s expertise in materials for medical device
applications helped this customer make a smooth
transition to the GLS TPV.

ECCOH™ Low Smoke & Fume Non-Halogen Formulation 5981
UV and chemically resistant thermoplastic for Teck 90 cable outer jackets
ECCOH 5981 UV thermoplastic is a cost-effective
material for jacketing, combining high environmental
stress crack resistance (ESCR), UV performance, good
shear strength, and flame-retardant properties for
low-voltage, armored cables.
With these high-performing mechanical properties,
and the ability to customize for specific application
requirements, the ECCOH 5981 formulation provides
an LSFOH material that is especially suitable in cables
used in confined spaces, such as mines, industrial
plants, and transit systems.
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.
