Complēt™ R nylon 6 long fiber composites provide stiffness, strength, and toughness performance on par with standard nylon 6 long fiber formulations using virgin resin, giving these materials the structural capability necessary to be used as an alternative to metals.

Because it meets this crucial requirement, the material can be used to streamline manufacturing and improve efficiency compared to traditional vulcanized rubber. The adhesive is also an additional component of the container system that must be evaluated for compatibility before use. This formulation meets the requirements of the ISO 15759 standard for medical infusion equipment, and can be steam autoclaved using temperatures up to 121°C.

PCF values are calculated using Avient’s PCF Calculator, certified by TÜV Rheinland according to ISO 14067
