This solution offers better color consistency and better color dispersion in transparent PC resins, helping to retain transparent properties and preventing contamination by keeping production lines clean. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • More accurate dosage on a small-scale leading to better color consistency • Better color dispersion in transparent PC resin compared to pigments, helping to retain transparent properties • Prevents contamination by keeping cleanliness in production lines often found with powders • Lower inventory, easier supply chain management • Better cost effectiveness with lower dosage • Prevents undesirable yellowness/greenness in PC chips • Supports sustainability through improved color and material changeover time • Liquid solution reduces dosage compared to alternatives PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

This solution can help avoid static problems, while also improving processability and mold release. Contact one of our experts to learn more about how we can help you to use antistatic additives.

Furthermore, Avient’s technical team helped achieve a surface finish that would allow for a strong bond with an adhesive backing and recommended suitable adhesives to achieve optimal bonding of the materials. THE IMPACT The launch of the Wax Mat®1 grip tape introduced a fresh alternative to wax for wet grip to surfboard decks, helping to further differentiate SurfCo.

SIMULATION SUPPORT Computer-aided engineering (CAE) allows us to accurately and efficiently understand a variety of assessments that help us guide your team through the design phase of a project to confidently dial in on a final design. CAE also helps us design for possible warp and deflection of the finished part. Our onsite technical support team is here to help with process development, mold design suggestions, material training, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.

We can help. A fresh look at material options helps align key properties with optimal performance for today’s vehicles. Here are some initial distinctions to help you decide.
