PRODUCT BULLETIN Silcosperse™ Additive Dispersions Flame Retardants Silcosperse™ Additive Dispersions for flame retardants that allow manufacturers to design with increased confidence for critical flame and smoke applications. These silicone additive solutions create a char or gas that reduces oxygen at the source of flame, leading to components that become self-extinguishing. Using Silcosperse flame retardant additives ensures that today’s stringent building safety codes and other regulations are met.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives for Heat Preservation TECHNICAL BULLETIN Avient’s new generation of heat-preservation additive formulations for fiber and textile applications are developed to help brands more easily meet demands for lightweight and comfortable winter clothing, sportswear and bedding. Fabrics made with Cesa™ Fiber Additives for heat preservation can absorb more heat than untreated textile when exposed to simulated sunlight with the wavelength from 320 to 1100nm.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives for stain resistance efficacy are non-fluorine additive concentrates developed for incorporation in the yarn during extrusion. Color can be added to the additive in a combination masterbatch allowing for both color and stain resistance efficacy to be integrated into the yarn during the spin-dyeing (dope-dyeing) process. The additive concentrates are also formulated to not interfere with over-dyeing, preserving the stain resistance effectiveness of bath- dyed and piece-dyed yarns and textiles containing our stain-resistant solution.

Colorants & Additives for Electrical & Electronic Applications IEC 60695-2, known as the Glow Wire test, and UL 94 are established standards in the Electrical & Electronics industry that ensure plastic parts in electrical and electronic components have been tested for fire resistance in support of safer consumer products. OnColor™ UL 94 Colorants* • More than 2,000 recognized concentrates available worldwide in all color options • HB rating for most of PP, PS, ABS, PC/ABS, PBT, PA, PA-GF, TPU generic resins • V-0, V-1, V-2 and 5VA/5VB ratings for more than 200 specific engineering resins • Master file of recognized concentrates with scope of use accessible in the UL product finder • Development of custom products for specific resins upon request • Compliance Letters available for REACH and RoHS Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives for Glow Wire • Fire performance in line with different levels of Glow Wire temperatures (IEC 60695-2-12) • Let-Down Ratio adjustable to reach different levels of Glow Wire temperatures • Non-halogen (in accordance with IEC 61249- 2-21) and non-HBCD** solutions • Wide range of solutions adapted to different polymers (PP, PS, PC) • Color and flame retardants can be combined in one product • Compliance Letters available for REACH and RoHS APPLICATION BULLETIN * Solutions also sold as Renol™ UL 94 Colorants APPLICATION POLYMER GWFI TEMPERATURE TYPICAL LET-DOWN RATIO CONTENT HIPS 750–960°C 5–10% Non-HBCD flame retardant** PC 850–960°C 2–4% Non-halogen in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21 PP homopolymer 850–960°C 4% Non-halogen in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21 PP copolymer 850–960°C 4–8% Antioxidant - metal deactivator ** Non-HBCD means that Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is neither used as starting material during the mixing phase of our products nor intentionally added during production, but it cannot be excluded that it is not present at level of ubiquitous traces in any of the raw materials used in manufacturing of our products. TYPICAL GLOW WIRE FLAMMABILITY INDICES (GWFI) ACHIEVED WITH CESA FLAME RETARDANT ADDITIVES Other additives are available on request to fulfill specific requirements such as UV stabilization, laser marking or other functions.

In addition, the design included more traditional features, such as four small support feet on the underside of the mouse for low-friction, easy-glide operation. Together, the manufacturer and Avient settled on a final formulation that could utilize existing tooling, thereby avoiding additional costs. In addition, the profit margin on this product was about 30% higher than that of other models.

We’re excited to further enhance our value to customers in Mexico through additional initiatives such as technical training sessions and product design support in 2016 and beyond.” Additional services and support include: In addition to exhibiting at Plastimagen 2016 next week (booth #1243), PolyOne Distribution will also conduct a Technical Seminar for Plastics Professionals on April 27 in Monterrey, Mexico.

Additional weight, manufacturing challenges and ultimately, higher costs. In addition, the size required for an efficient metal heat sink may create design challenges that adversely affect nearby electronic components. And remember that polymers can offer a way to achieve lighter weight and improved design capabilities in addition to managing heat.
