UV Resistance
UV attack by sunlight can be prevented by adding UV stabilizers to polymeric materials.
These stabilizers usually act by absorbing the UV radiation preferentially, and dissipating the energy as low-level heat.

Its design team determined the need for a soft-touch material with strong chemical resistance and color stability for the mouse grip.
A technical support team at Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and overmolding onto the rigid substrate.
Avient and the manufacturer conducted a series of molding trials to establish proper part performance, and the teams also coordinated sales, engineering and technical support in tandem.
