The 5th generation of cellular networks (5G) is an emerging technology that will allow consumers to be more connected than ever before by allowing faster data transfer rates with lower delays and latency.
While rigid polymers are typically used for this because of their conductive and wireless properties, Avient has found additional value in low signal loss technology within its thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio.
Using the test method reference from ASTM D2520 Part C, we generated repeatable data on the samples of four select formulations at the same four thicknesses, recording the average and median values for both dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df).

APPLICATION BULLETIN
SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE
LubriOne™ Portfolio
PA66, PA6 and Polyketone
formulations with
10%–30% glass fiber
reinforcement available
Lubricants & Performance
Lubricant Color Performance
LubriOne NN PTFE Natural Shears and creates a PTFE film transferred
to the matting surface.
PFPE Natural Migrates to the surface, but not all of it
since some is trapped in the polymer.

L’ORÉAL
R E D K E N S H A M P O O B O T T L E S
• Ensure global color consistency across all Redken PCR packaging in order
to launch in North America and Europe at the same time
• Shorten time to launch by simplifying decision making process and avoiding
lengthy lab trials
• Ability to transition to high levels of PCR, and to facilitate transfer from one
PCR to another
• Solution that works with mixed grades of PCR, both rPET and polyolefins
• Created a process with L’Oréal to overcome PCR
coloring challenges and simplify recycled resin
coloration for global consistency
• Helped L’Oréal towards its objective to have 100%
of packaging plastics to be either from recycled or
bio-based sources
• Achieved a perfect color match on the first try in 8
out of 10 cases
