Drug Delivery Systems Surface Care Surface Protection

These dispersions provide a cost efficient and non-destructive permanent marking on silicone surfaces without affecting the dimensional stability or mechanical performance of the silicone.

They can be used to impart a lower coefficient of friction and higher gloss surface for post processing of parts, reduce scuffs and mar from conveyence, or provide lower friction and higher gloss for the final part. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.
