THE CHALLENGE
Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers,
a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to
create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced
quality, durability and aesthetics.
The new products
have been very well received by consumers, and have allowed
the company to address the competitive threat from all-plastic
sprayers
High-end product line = competitive advantage:
With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully
designed and produced a new, high-end product line that
compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of
appearance, performance and durability

While
commodity plastics can typically maintain performance only up to 100°C, and
engineering plastics do the same up to 120°C, a high-performance thermoplastic
can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C while also maintaining low
temperature impact.
Automotive: Demand for plastics to handle increasing temperatures
due to the proliferation of electronics in engine compartments and tighter spaces.
Most high-heat plastics
are hygroscopic, so careful drying is needed to avoid potential
processing issues.

Cesa™ Stat Antistatic Additives
for automotive interiors
Plastics can attract dust particles, creating an
unattractive smudgy film on their surface.
Plastic
parts in the passenger compartment develop
electric charges as people get in and out of the
vehicle and air circulates through the ventilating/air
conditioning system.
They bind themselves to the
plastic in a three dimensional network so they do
not contribute to VOC emissions.

Bio-polymers are already used with success in
different plastic products, notably in packaging,
but to be used in healthcare applications, they
need to be evaluated to the relevant protocols to
support regulatory compliance of the end article.
Avient provides pre-tested color and additive
concentrates based on bio-polymers to minimize
the risk of non-compliance and support a more
sustainable profile for plastic products used in the
healthcare industry.
Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent
implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

In fact,
you may have found yourself swimming in plastics alphabet soup and unsure
where to start.
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are a type of plastic that have been
refined to create a soft, rubbery feel—and they’re everywhere.
Most thermoplastic
elastomer products are also recyclable
under Plastic Recycling Code 7.

Storage and Handling of Vinyl Plastisols
A vinyl plastisol is a liquid dispersion of
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins, plasticizers, and
miscellaneous additives.
When baked, this liquid
plastic becomes a fused solid plastic.

In plastics, paints, and inks carbon black is used as a color pigment.
USES AND APPLICATIONS
Colored printing inks, non-impact printing, coatings, paints and lacquers, plastics, spinning fibers, specials
applications; pigment, conductivity, reaction media, UV-filters.
Carbon Black is by far the most important
black pigment, and is the second most used in terms of volume of all pigments employed by the plastic
industry, ranking behind only TiO2.
