The wiring and cables used on offshore platforms, onboard ships and in other marine environments need to meet high standards for safety and performance.  Geographical isolation coupled with the presence of highly flammable materials in offshore activity means rigorous standards of fire safety need to be considered. When seeking a supplier of polymers for use in the wire and cable required in these for offshore and maritime applications, manufacturers should collaborate with suppliers whose experienced associates and well-equipped fire competence center can provide extensive support in the introduction of new materials that meet safety specifications and manufacturers’ demands for processing efficiency.

These advanced materials can help OEMs and processors to meet materials safety standards and reinforce sustainability goals for kitchenware and houseware products.  Product designers in the kitchenware and houseware industry are looking for materials that can meet the increasing demand for food safety and compliance, while also seeking more sustainable content,” said Flight Xu, general manager of Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for Avient, “Our innovative TPEs can meet the regulatory challenges, including FDA, EU10/2011 and China GB standard, and enhance safety without compromising performance or design freedom.

Culture of Safety From labware for diagnostic testing to protective equipment and sterile packaging to ventilators and medical devices, plastics are a crucial tool in saving lives and improving health and safety in our communities. Avient’s portfolio of PRESERVE sustainable solutions are designed to preserve natural resources like water, protect human health and safety, and enable sustainable infrastructure.
