This paper discusses the reasons fogging occurs, tools to minimize it, and also a new development that can both limit fogging and support development of easy-to-open packaging. As a result of this testing, new anti-fog additives were developed and marketed. There were several key challenges that had to be met in the development of this specialty formulation.

Guided by their initiative to develop capabilities that provide additional protection for soldiers while reducing time and logistic requirements,1 the U.S. Army Corps Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Survivability Engineering Branch enlisted the expertise of Edwards Design and Fabrication, an Alabama-based equipment fabricator for commercial and government research and development organizations. Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic- resistant panels that were not only compatible with the required hardware but also met color requirements for better visual cover once deployed.

As suppliers of these materials continue to develop innovations in chemistry and capabilities, the appeal of both TPEs and LSR will grow even stronger. $15B Source: Statista, National Sporting Goods Association BY THE NUMBERS Your product or part may call for a design that features both thick and thin walls, complex shapes or intricate details.

Determine key requirements of the application: These not only define which material should be selected, but also guide the development of the appropriate color masterbatch. We can even develop a color masterbatch formulation with the appropriate pigment particle size and loading to enable translucent colors and tints. We can develop solutions for laser marking fluoropolymers as well as inks for striping and printing.
