Reducing weight in transportation can increase safety, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions. One respected truck manufacturer chose Avient to help them lightweight their heavy truck applications. Polystrand™ extended the life of the trucks by 20–25%, and reduced weight to improve fuel economy.

Kalas expands offerings by reducing heavy metal in wire, cable They also switched from color concentrates containing heavy metal to RoHS-compliant OnColor™ color concentrates. We have achieved key objectives including growing revenues, expanding into new markets, and gaining a competitive advantage,” said Lyn Hassler, senior buyer at Kalas.

However, prolonged use of a heavy texture without gloves can result in discomfort and hand fatigue. Therefore, these gains had to be balanced (or ponderated, where the results are weighted against a standard) as a function of the frequency at which they occurred in order to understand the true impacts on health and safety. When the accelerated gains were weighted as a function of the frequency, the polymer handle had either a similar accelerated gain (ISO 5346-1:2001) or a lower gain that reduced the risk (ISO 18570:2017).

The new stringent testing changes will only affect packaging systems that have not yet gained regulatory approval for use in a marketed pharmaceutical product. One key change is that eight extractable elements have been taken out of USP 661.1 as these heavy metal testing requirements are addressed in another regulation, USP 232. However, Avient will continue to test these eight metals to gain insight into each element’s leaching characteristics and potential of elemental impurities which could leach, or extract, from the packaging component.  

Innovative, rollable tripod design gains strength and durability from composites Traditional collapsible, folding tripods can be heavy and cumbersome especially when the user is lugging additional gear and equipment. Based on expertise in reducing weight and improving portability of mast structures and antennas for the military, Rolatube engineers realized the legs of the tripod could be designed to roll into a compact and portable coil, eliminating the complexity and added weight of telescopic hardware.
