HIGH SOLIDS INK Zodiac Aquarius™ high solids ink were developed to meet the performance and durability requirements of sport brands. The high solids ink range consists of high opacity white and a soft, flexible base to produce highly opaque, soft hand prints.

Typically, stiffer plastics are more brittle. This concept provides a competitive marketing advantage over products made from simpler plastics. In regard to plastics, the concept of design freedom incorporates several subtopics:

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.
