As such, there’s a trend to reduce microbial populations on high-touch surfaces via the use of antimicrobials to protect material aesthetics and durability or to prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms. To better evaluate how to protect plastic parts from microbial attack, Avient conducted a study to screen a variety of plastic substrates for susceptibility using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial susceptibility) test standards.

In the dynamic telecommunications industry, 5G (fifth generation cellular network technology) is on the verge of being widely adopted, which will drive demand for 5G-optimized antennas as new infrastructures are rapidly deployed. These materials increase design flexibility, particularly for 3D antenna designs and complex shapes. In addition, our LDS materials can shorten lead times by supplying materials in just a few weeks to help increase speed to market.
