THE SOLUTION
The Avient team proposed multiple solutions—including
a laser-marking additive, an authentication additive, and
colorant—bundled into a single Smartbatch™ concentrate.
The concentrate
also included the required color for the manufacturer’s
branding and an additive for UV protection.

These antibacterial and
antifungal additives reduce growth of bacteria,
mold and fungus on the surface and through the
thickness of the plastic part.
WithStand antimicrobial additives can be combined
with colorants or other functional additives in a
single masterbatch or liquid solution to get the
exact performance needed.
