A SOLUTION FOR TAKING CONTROL CASE STUDY: EXCELITE™ CHEMICAL FOAMING ADDITIVES Challe nge Accepted. THE SOLUTION The Avient technical team leveraged its expertise in liquid colorants and chemical additives to scientifically engineer its line of ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ chemical foaming additives (CFAs) for PVC processing.

GLS™ TPEs with Antimicrobial Technologies This specialty line of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers has imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more (log 3) and resist fungal growth to protect molded plastic parts. Developed for the preservation of high-touch surfaces and applications, these formulations contain antimicrobial additives that continuously inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungus, and molds that cause odor and detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to the finished plastic part.

PRODUCT BULLETIN APPLICATIONS • Beverages • Personal Care • Consumer Goods Compatible with: • PET • Injection blow molding TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS Impress is formulated using an additive that adds a brilliant ultra-glossy appearance to packaging made with semi-crystalline polymers. The additive creates tiny bubbles inside the semi-crystalline resins which, when stretched during blow molding, reflect light and shine for a high gloss, metallic appearance. With other metallic effect additives, these lines can appear on the surface of a polymer part where molten plastic flow fronts meet during processing.

Building on the design concept from SurfCo, Avient conducted additional R&D work to formulate a specialty thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that could be coextruded with polypropylene (PP) film and meet the high expectations of SurfCo and surfers everywhere. In response to the tests, Avient leveraged its expansive portfolio of specialty additives to tailor the TPE for enhanced UV resistance and to inhibit mold growth—leading to an end product that would perform better for longer. Charging ahead, the company has continued to leverage Avient’s technology and technical expertise to pursue the commercialization of additional anti-skid products for marine and military vessels, and non-slip products for the pool, bath, and walkway markets.

CESA™ Antimicro Additives Antimicrobial PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Microorganisms like fungi and bacteria are present in all environments. CESA™ Antimicro additives inhibit the growth of microorganisms on plastic articles, helping prevent unpleasant odors and discoloration. CESA ANTIMICRO – STANDARD OFFERINGS CESA Antimicro additives can be used in combination with other CESA masterbatches, and formulations can be customized for most applications.

Guided by their initiative to develop capabilities that provide additional protection for soldiers while reducing time and logistic requirements,1 the U.S. It’s portable enough to be airlifted into remote sites and provides quick protection for troops with no additional equipment support needed. These panels successfully encapsulate the bullet, preventing harmful ricochets and providing additional safety to the warfighter.
