https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/EZR Gun Grip Case Study.pdf
EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be
chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide
or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient
in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting
aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition
65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to
Californians about significant exposures to chemicals
that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other
reproductive harm).
This technology also helps achieve
superior grip properties, improving haptics for a
better sense of touch and feel while remaining UV-
resistant, chemical resistant to DEET and oils, and
bio-compatible.

They help
make fibers more resistant to ignition and control
flame propagation, smoke and heat generation.
KEY BENEFITS
• Very good compatibility and dispersibility
• Durable fire resistance with limited to no impact
on color
• Fire resistance and spinnability tested for
efficacy in our labs
• Can be combined with colors and with other
additives (e.g., light stabilizers) into a single
product for convenience

In the wire and cable industry, thermoplastics serve to protect by
providing electrical insulation, flame resistance, durability, water resistance and color coding to wire coatings and
connectors.
In the transportation industry, plastic has proven to be durable, lightweight and corrosion resistant while
offering fuel savings, design flexibility and high performance, often replacing traditional materials such as metal and
glass.
We believe this contract assures the availability of adequate amounts of PVC resin.
