THE IMPACT By using Avient’s CORE formulation combined with the proprietary manufacturing process from EZR Sport, the companies created an exceptional foam cell structure, providing excellent shock absorption with a cushioning effect for steady hand placement.

To validate the switch, Avient’s solution needed to provide excellent chemical resistance to corrosive substances during use, withstand frequent sanitation procedures for long-term durability, and lower overall costs for Bettcher.
