THE JOURNEY AWAITS Polymer Solutions for Adventure Sports Gear For outdoor enthusiasts, the lighter the gear, the better. Add resilience and lasting beauty to your products with various polymer additives and color formulations from Avient. Bring beauty to the outdoor experience with products that pop: • Add vibrancy or brand recognition with custom polymer colorants • Keep your product’s colors brilliant with UV-stable additives • Reduce cycle times and production costs by eliminating secondary painting requirements with molded-in color and advanced polymer formulations from Avient Your outdoor products need to stand the test of time and resist damage from exposure to environmental elements.

This solution permits black and dark color polymers to be detected by near infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling subsequent recycling. Automatic sorting equipment in waste facilities relies on the reflectance of NIR wavelengths to identify polymers and properly sort packaging waste by plastic material. The formulation used enables black packaging of various polymers to be sorted into the correct polymer stream, and sent for recycling instead of landfill or incineration, which is a key requirement of the circular economy system.

MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT CRACKING AND CRAZING Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing disinfectant-related failures DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE ON POLYMER HOUSINGS Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital- acquired infections can damage equipment and result in material failures, such as: • Stress cracking • Crazing • Discoloration CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS VARY BY ENVIRONMENT • Patient/exam rooms • Operating and radiology rooms • Reception areas • Home (patient equipment & devices) Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip the performance of traditional polymers. When it comes to material selection and options, you need a strong partner that understands both polymers and the demands of the healthcare environment. An independent lab tested the following polymers with various disinfectants to help customers choose the material suitable to their specific application requirements.

Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents are supplied as concentrates and are added to virgin or recycled polymer during the plastic conversion process. Grades are available for polyolefins, PP, PC/ABS, ABS, PA6— filled and reinforced polymers included—and others on request. Grades are available for various polymer formulations, including polyolefins, PVC, and TPU.
