Microbe growth on plastic can deteriorate performance and also lead to undesirable staining and odor issues. To better evaluate how to protect plastic parts from microbial attack, Avient conducted a study to screen a variety of plastic substrates for susceptibility using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial susceptibility) test standards.

How do I choose the right plastic for my application? How do I choose the right plastic for my application? For fiber reinforced plastics, it will analyze the fiber for orientation and length.

Tested in accordance with JIS Z2801 and ASTM G21-15 standards, these additives protect molded plastic parts by inhibiting bacterial growth (99.9 percent or more) and resisting fungal and mold growth. In addition to potentially causing odor issues, these microrganisms can cause detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to a finished plastic part. Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.  

Geon BIO materials are formulated with PolyOne’s plant-based reFlex™ 300 plasticizer,” said James Stephenson, director, Global Marketing, Geon Performance Materials. This creates a truly non-phthalate flexible vinyl that performs at levels equal to or better than materials containing petroleum-based plasticizers. Caption: Geon™ BIO Flexible Solutions are formulated with reFlex™ 300 plasticizer, derived from soybean oil and certified as 99 percent biobased by the USDA BioPreferred® Program.

Avient Announces Phoenix Location to Serve as a ColorWorks™ Design & Technology Center, Expanding Innovative Color Solutions and Guidance for Plastic Color and Design   Avient customers can visit these facilities to work with designers and create innovative effects for plastic color and design, using industry trends to streamline product development. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

The exposition is Central and Eastern Europe's most prominent event for the plastics processing industry. By incorporating such additives early in the recycling process or blending them with virgin resin, the degradation of material can be significantly reduced, ensuring the quality and performance of recycled plastics.
