Materials impacted by CPSIA, benefits of alternative plasticizers and Avient No Surprises Pledge

• Design flexibility = fast customization: Plastic offers much greater design freedom than metal, enabling the company to quickly develop and produce variations of the seat securement part for different customers. • Lighter weight = environmental benefits: By reducing the weight of the part by approximately 50%, Bergamid resin can help automakers achieve better fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. • Excellent performance = customer satisfaction: The strength, impact resistance, low warpage and additional properties of Bergamid resin help ensure the part meets stringent OEM requirements and satisfies its customers. • Injection molding = system cost savings: Compared to metal fabrication, which requires time-consuming secondary operations, injection molded plastics can be produced as a net-shape part in a single step, boosting productivity and lowering system costs.

The most common use—coatings and plastics—accounts for more than 80 percent of global consumption. TiO2 is the most used in terms of volume of all pigments employed by the plastic industry.

In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure. When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene- styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS).

Reduction in yellowing using Color Compensation Technology (CCT)   Reduced material consumption/cycle time/improved properties—nucleation Fast acting new generation nucleant for PE and PP; improved dimensional stability, thermal and mechanical properties    Laser marking replacing ink printing/labels Solvent-free, high-speed identification for Nd/YAG laser    Antiblock for PE/PP film Non-migrating additive system maintaining high gloss and printability  Antioxidants for PE, PP, TPE Thermal protection during converting/ downstream sterilization     Brand protection/ anticounterfeit Range of covert and non-covert systems    Volatiles/odor absorber for PE/PP Physical absorption of a wide range of molecules responsible for odor, VOC and potential extractables/ leachables in plastics   Healthcare use limitations apply—see below.
