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.

And, because TPEs can be overmolded, brand owners and packaging manufacturers have new options for designing components that can be integrated directly into the package. 4345, 4355, 4365 4465 4570 4665 Hardness Shore A 45A, 55A, 65A 65A 70A 65A Regulatory* • EU 10/2011 Color Translucent Translucent Natural Natural Overmolding Bonds To Polypropylene Polypropylene Polar substrates Polar substrates Chemical Resistance • #1 for soaps • Low-cost solution for non-polar oils • #2 for soaps • Some oils • #1 for polar & non-polar oils • #1 for non-polar solvents, like isododecane • #2 for non-polar oils • Abrasion resistance * Regulatory compliance is offered for consideration only—limitations apply; please check with product stewardship.

The cost associated with maintaining a laser marking system is lower than for printing systems, and laser marking supports greater design and production flexibility; changing a marking is as simple as pushing a few buttons on a laser marking unit.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • More accurate dosage on a small-scale leading to better color consistency • Better color dispersion in transparent PC resin compared to pigments, helping to retain transparent properties • Prevents contamination by keeping cleanliness in production lines often found with powders • Lower inventory, easier supply chain management • Better cost effectiveness with lower dosage • Prevents undesirable yellowness/greenness in PC chips • Supports sustainability through improved color and material changeover time • Liquid solution reduces dosage compared to alternatives PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

For these processors Excelite was established as the lowest total cost-to- manufacture solution.

Cesa WithStand solutions include technical assistance to customize the additive dosage, as well as support with processes and specifications, helping to reduce time to market and saving time and cost in the development process.

Adding an anti-fog solution to film delivers value to brand owners and film manufacturers in multiple ways: Reduce operating cost: Anti-fog plus additives are a drop-in solution.

Versaflex TF Adhesive TPEs offer easy processing and shaping, and can also be custom-colored and cost-efficiently laser-cut.

In the presence of carbon black, currently used to color most black packaging, all the wavelengths are absorbed and black polymers can’t be identified, inevitably keeping black packaging out of recycling streams at considerable cost to our environment.
