MEETING FR GOALS IN DATA CABLES WITH AN ALTERNATIVE TO FEP Maxxam FR materials can provide cost savings and improved processing capabilities when used in category 5e cables and above. High flame performance and a low dielectric constant keep our equipment safe and data moving quickly.  THE SOLUTION The manufacturer worked with Avient to identify alternatives to FEP insulation that would meet requirements in their data cable.

2025 PROXY STATEMENT

Working with Avient, Gordon and Jeff developed the patent-pending FlexSpring™ insole using a tri-ply unidirectional fiberglass laminate, combined with neoprene foam sheet material, and die-cut to shape.

Examples of common applications include medical tubing, inflatables, packaging film and sheets, garden hoses, toys and automotive plastics.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Reduces melt fracture leading to fast time to clear • Reduces die buildup • Improves process efficiency • Retains ability to seal and print • Available in both solid and liquid • Offers low concentration efficiency • Reduces power requirements • Does not interact with other additives APPLICATIONS • Blown film • Profile extrusion • Tubing and pipe extrusion • Wire and cable applications • Extruded sheet • Applications in both virgin resin and PCR Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

You can trust that Avient materials meet the rigorous quality and safety management standards required across the globe. You can be certain that Avient meets or exceeds the material safety data reporting requirements of your country or region.
