The new Edgetek formulations also can help electronic component manufacturers to miniaturize mechanical and electrical (also known as mechatronics) systems, even in high heat manufacturing processes, such as SMT (surface mount technology). Sectors related to 5G, including infrastructure, will drive future applications that create high demand for 3D MID (LDS) technology and materials.

Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. They use words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial condition, performance and/or sales. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Available in both liquid and solid formulations, Impress helps to create packaging with a brilliant glossy, metallic surface in unlimited color options. Our testing has revealed that packaging made with Impress Colorants has no flow lines to disrupt the brilliant glossy surface. With other metallic effect additives, these lines can appear on the surface of a polymer part where molten plastic flow fronts meet during processing.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Antimicrobial Additives for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens Bacteria and other microorganisms can cause unpleasant odor, discoloration and even degradation of surface qualities in textiles and nonwovens. Unlike surface treatments, they are blended into the polymer during the spin-dyeing process and are more resistant to washing and wearing off. Organic antimicrobials consist of substances that migrate within the polymer matrix, spreading over the surface of the materials where their antimicrobial action has effect.

The Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives portfolio includes antistatic additives that reduce the surface resistivity of polymers and the issues caused by electrostatic charges. Avient offers two types of Mevopur antistatic solutions: a non-migrating solution, that uses a fibril network to offer an immediate and constant effect; and a migrating solution, which offers antistatic properties through the attraction of water molecules on the surface to lower surface tension.

Smartbatch™ Fabric FX Color and Additives Enhance Perceived Value with Look of Fabric Smartbatch™ Fabric FX color and additive concentrates from Avient are a hassle-free means for manufacturers to turn plain, smooth polymer surfaces into those that mimic the soft appearance of textile. With Fabric FX masterbatch and a textured mold surface, manufacturers have a drop-in solution to design novel parts that appear to be covered in textiles. For manufacturers who currently bond textiles to polymer surfaces, this solution gives applications comparable aesthetics but at a significantly lower total cost, and without the logistics and processing hassles associated with bonding textiles to polymers.
