Ultimately, the transition to the GLS TPV proved to be a smooth one for the manufacturer.

Choosing the right materials can be the difference between a project meeting its goals and one that surpasses its goals.

The hardness of a material is often one of the first criteria considered when choosing a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

Working with Reiter-HG Geiger, a sophisticated injection molding processor specializing in demanding applications, the OEM team began their search for a sustainable material to replace lead, one that would effectively shield X-rays up to 140 keV while offering additional manufacturing benefits. 

Increase sustainability, optimize color usage and reduce weight with just one technology

ColorMatrix LCX dispersions are designed to minimize and eliminate screw slip, streaking and specking, all while generating cost-to-color savings through processing efficiencies that include: • Handling efficiency – bulk distribution, individual feed stations • Inventory reduction – less inventory and required floor space • Process efficiency – improved color change times KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly concentrated pigment dispersions specifically for EBM processing • Provides dimensional stability by utilizing more resin instead of fillers • Reduces costs through handling and processing efficiencies • Customization available for design and product handling • Can be formulated in combination with a wide selection of additive technologies to meet performance needs MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS ColorMatrix LCX Liquid Dispersions for EBM processing are well suited for the following: • Monolayer applications • LDR less than 3% • Large volume whites and blacks • Tints 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Light Stabilizers for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens Non UV-stabilized fibers exposed to sunlight can suffer color fading and molecular changes that degrade their chemical and mechanical properties, leading to fraying and breakages. In technical applications, where strength can be a critical factor, fibers should be UV-stabilized to avoid product failure. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes light-stabilizing and UV-absorbing concentrates for the spin-dyeing process.
