ECO-CONSCIOUS PLASTISOLS IMPROVE THE FIREARM
EXPERIENCE AND MEET GUIDELINES
THE CHALLENGE
EZR Sport® is an American company specializing in grips
for industrial & military manufacturers since 1964.
THE IMPACT
By using Avient’s CORE formulation combined with the
proprietary manufacturing process from EZR Sport, the
companies created an exceptional foam cell structure,
providing excellent shock absorption with a cushioning
effect for steady hand placement.
In addition to meeting EZR’s material needs, Avient
helped improve EZR’s sustainability by changing how
CORE plastisols are delivered.
