Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, has announced commercial availability of two new patent-pending Trilliant healthcare formulations.

These materials feature improved chemical resistance to trusted hospital-grade disinfectants over other flame-resistant (FR) polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PET, and copolyester.

Avient’s new materials feature improved chemical resistance to trusted hospital-grade disinfectants.

Trilliant HC8910 and HC8920 healthcare grades were developed in response to today’s intense disinfecting protocols. Using a method adapted from ASTM D543 for ESCR (environmental stress cracking resistance), results versus alternative FR materials demonstrate superior mechanical and aesthetic property retention, and prevention of cracks and crazing after exposure to leading healthcare disinfectants such as Virex Tb, CaviCide, Vesphene IIse, and Super Sani-Cloth.

“Heightened disinfection requires materials that retain mechanical and physical performance in the face of these effective, but harsh, chemistries,” said Matthew Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. “By offering more robust solutions, we’re enabling healthcare OEMs to deliver more durable medical devices and equipment that resist chemical attack and serve patients longer.”

Trilliant HC8910 and HC8920 series of materials are made without BPA and available in standard or custom colors. The HC8920 grades are formulated to meet certification to UL94 5VA at 3.0 mm, V-0 at 1.5 mm, V-1 at 0.75 mm. These new series are commercially available globally.
