CUSTOM SOLUTION PROVIDES SIGNAL DAMPING AND HEAT RESISTANCE FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR CASE STUDY: BERGAMID™ NYLON FORMULATIONS Challe nge Accepted. It must also have the required heat resistance, be strong enough to maintain a tight electrical connection and be flexible enough to allow a snap fit. • Avoid over-engineering – The new connector must be designed to meet the targeted requirements accurately, without over engineering, thus avoiding the costs of higher-than-needed performance levels. • Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector. Working closely with the manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material required a special combination of properties: • A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of signal dampening prescribed • Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective electrical connection and at the same time allow for snap-fit installation • A cost-effective solution that would enable the manufacturer to compete in this new market Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more than 30 different materials.

KEY FEATURES • High mechanical performance • Excellent fatigue, stress-crack, oxidation and acid resistance • Very good flame retardance with low smoke and toxicity emissions • High temperature resistance and dimensional stability • Excellent chemical, hydrolysis and radiation resistance APPLICATIONS • Aerospace • Automotive • Appliance • Consumer • Industrial • Oil & Gas To learn more about Edgetek™ PEEK solutions, please visit avient.com or call +1.844.4AVIENT (+1.844.428.4368). www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.
