APPLICATIONS • Clothing and apparel, to avoid odors caused by sweat-induced bacteria proliferation • Household furnishings and carpeting, to protect these products from microbial growth that can cause stains and odor • Home textiles and rugs, to prevent mildew • Automotive and public transportation upholstery and carpeting, to extend service life HOW IT WORKS Avient offers two major types of antimicrobials for fibers: organic and inorganic.

They reinforce packaging integrity by maintaining a film’s sealing properties, avoiding delamination of the film structure, and maintaining transparency.

These antistatic concentrates can be used to increase the visual appeal of a medical device by avoiding charge-related dust accumulation.

MARKETS & APPLICATIONS • Thermoformed, APET food packaging, including: - Hot steam sterilization - Hot fill - Microwave use • Polyester • Sheet extrusion & thermoforming KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Suitable for hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and microwave applications • Ideal for food-grade containers with high rigidity and improved gas barrier • Can withstand temperatures up to 100°C • Available in both transparent and opaque options • Processable on existing thermoforming lines with heated molds KEY BENEFITS • A fully circular monomaterial, up to 100% rPET polymer content • Promotion of the circularity of PET and the resulting packaging is possible • Helps customers to comply with the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) that demands recyclability of all packaging with binding PCR content targets by 2030 • Demonstrates improved productivity in comparison to CPET during thermoforming • Helps avoid possible EPR fees or penalties on difficult-to-recycle packaging PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2025, Avient Corporation.

In addition, the MIC process avoids VOC emissions associated with painting.

In order to meet demand and avoid delays, multiple PCR sourcing outlets are often necessary and multi-pass recycling is utilized, both of which can increase the risk of polymer degradation impacting mechanical properties and creating potential product safety issues due to food contact concerns.

It wanted to avoid the brittleness, cracking and resulting product recalls and added costs that happen when the material is put in contact with harsh disinfectants.

Resistant security The unique composite matrix of the panels allows for retention of the projectile to avoid potentially hazardous ricochet. When constructing walls, rest the initial course of panels firmly on the floor to avoid any unsupported panel weight on the wall framing. 5.

This created major problems for the organization—as getting the quality of light just right was critical not only to avoiding more delays of the product launch, as well as maintaining its brand image as an innovative, high quality lighting designer.

MINIMIZING SINKS The easiest way to avoid sinks is by minimizing thick regions in the part. One thing to avoid in adding draft are large variations in wall thickness. Gates should be in areas that will avoid “picture-framing” or areas that could cause gas traps.
