THE SOLUTION Avient engineers guided the Victorinox team early in the development cycle for the new Soldier’s Knife, proposing a combination of materials for the handles that would meet the design aspirations as well as Swiss Army standards for durability. Avient provided product development assistance and testing, and ultimately delivered customized materials that met strict requirements for durability.

THE SOLUTION The OEM approached Avient with its challenge. After developing a deep understanding of the customer’s needs, Avient’s team quickly went to work to formulate a custom OnColor™ color and then added Cesa™ WithStand™ antimicrobial technology to make a single Smartbatch™ masterbatch that passed all of the product’s challenging requirements. Avient has compiled extensive data that enabled the OEM to shave weeks off the product development timeline and save nearly $50,000 in potential antimicrobial product protection testing fees.

THE SOLUTION Because they knew Avient could help, the connector company’s design engineers invited Avient into the development process. Avient’s development team went back to work and quickly developed a flame-retardant grade that meets UL requirements for a V0 rating. Avient’s willingness to invest the time and resources needed to ensure success enabled the manufacturer to develop a cost-effective, well-per forming product for its customer.
