We conducted this verification independently and to our knowledge there has been no conflict of interest.

When it comes to the creative application of color and special effects in product design and branding, ColorWorks™ centers are an invaluable source of ideas, inspiration and technical guidance. Avient’s New Aesthetix initiative combines polymer science and unconventional ways to look at processing and formulation to deliver innovative aesthetic solutions to plastic materials.

Because low durometer (softer) material is a requirement for this application, the manufacturer considered a switch to a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The manufacturer worked with Avient to formulate a custom Versaflex™ TPE that featured a low durometer with excellent resistance to adhesion (sticking).
