Fiber reinforced composites are a popular material of choice for reliable performance, providing high flexural strength and excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and chemical exposure.

They wanted to transition from metal to a polymer-based, two-component handle that would deliver: • scratch and chemical resistance • excellent mechanical properties • a grippy, soft-touch feel To support the transition, Victorinox sought our help based on its expertise in polymer science and ability to support product development and efficient manufacturing of the new two-component handles.

High-quality conductive pipette tips must meet a number of demanding performance criteria, including: • Accurate measurement of minute quantities of liquid • Hydrophobic properties to minimize fluid retention • Concentric dimensions and warp resistance • Excellent chemical resistance The manufacturer asked Avient for a specialized solution to meet these exacting needs in a timely and efficient manner so they could capitalize on its market opportunity THE SOLUTION Avient’s sales and technical professionals worked closely with the manufacturer to understand the demanding requirements of the end-use application, manufacturing considerations and cost.

PRODUCT BULLETIN KEY BENEFITS Avient’s antimicrobial concentrates for fiber applications provide the following benefits: • High active-ingredient loading which translates to excellent efficacy at low let-down ratios • Easily withstand 50 washings in ISO 20743 standard tests • Also applicable for bi-component technology • Low levels of abrasiveness means higher process performance—reducing cost in the spinning phase • Can be combined with colors and with other additives (e.g., flame retardants) into a single combination concentrate for convenience • Product guidance and technical assistance from our experts Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

Omnicolor™ Multipurpose Colorants Omnicolor™ Multipurpose Colorants offer excellent color performance across a wide range of over 25 different polymers.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS Cesa Anti-fog Plus additives help packaging to retain clarity, maintaining an excellent balance of immediate and long-lasting effects under both hot and cold conditions in mono and multilayer film.

Since PEI resin offers excellent resistance to heat and fire, and has very good dimensional stability, it is ideal for a variety of applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, telecommunications and healthcare.

Its portfolio of OnColor™ polymer colorants was developed to improve the heat and long-term color stability of cautionary orange polymers for high-voltage EV connectors, offering the following benefits: • Long-term fading resistance in thermal aging tests at up to 130°C for 1,000 hours, • No migration, excellent processing stability • Lower corrosion risk vs. typical comparable colorants • No impact on flame retardancy and limited adverse effects on essential mechanical characteristics, including flexural and impact strength Avient’s orange nylon colorants are available in several validated RAL, Pantone, and JPMA orange shades for compounding, injection molding, and extrusion.
