The new products have been very well received by consumers, and have allowed the company to address the competitive threat from all-plastic sprayers. • Lower system costs = higher margins: By reducing waste from part deformation, the Avient TPE allowed the manufacturer to leverage efficient, fast 2K molding for system cost reduction. Customers can keep a firm grasp of the sprayer to prevent dropping or twisting. • Abrasion resistance = excellent appearance to uphold corporate image: The Avient material resists scratching and scraping that commonly occur when sprayers are dragged along the ground or left out in all types of weather.
