As a result, Avient formulated these TPE materials to offer improved signal transmission up to mmWave frequencies. Our specialty TPEs for 5G transparency provide phone case manufacturers with advanced solutions that allow them differentiate their next-generation products and delight end users.” TECHNICAL NOTE: Both Versaflex CE 3140 TPE grades were formulated to outperform the industry benchmark for phone cases of less than 2.5 Dk at 37 GHz.

This includes technologies for lightweighting, colorants for secondary paint replacement, and bio-polymers. Made from renewable sources, materials like reSound™ BIO formulations help reduce carbon footprint and can perform like traditional TPEs. Experts from Avient will be on hand at booth #24 throughout the conference to help customers better understand novel sustainable performance materials, including specialized polymer colorants, functional additives, and engineered material formulations.

SHANGHAI – PolyOne is showcasing its extensive portfolio of high-performance polymer and colorant solutions at Wire China 2016 this week.     Additional formulations for vinyl, color concentrates, cross-linkable PVdF, and FEP/PVdF chemical foaming additives. About PolyOne PolyOne Corporation, with 2015 revenues of $3.4 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

Versaflex™ HC TPE is formulated to produce low coring levels in resealing applications. This formulation meets the requirements of the ISO 15759 standard for medical infusion equipment, and can be steam autoclaved using temperatures up to 121°C. Purity and cleanliness are crucial for polymers used in healthcare applications, and this formulation enhances purity not only because it offers low coring levels, but because it is made without cross-linking agents that can potentially leach into the container and interact with the sensitive pharmaceutical product.
