As such, there’s a trend to reduce microbial populations on high-touch surfaces via the use of antimicrobials to protect material aesthetics and durability or to prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms. 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.

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are prized for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, durability, and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and environmental exposures. These materials are non-conductive and are more durable than wood or steel.

ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ IM Chemical Foaming Additives for Injection Molding ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ IM formulations for injection molding feature fully endothermic chemical foaming agents which, when under thermal decomposition, cause gas to evolve. TARGET APPLICATIONS Excelite IM chemical foaming additives (CFAs) are engineered for a wide range of injection molded polymers: olefins, PVC, polystyrene, PC/ABS and high heat applications. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

THERMA-TECH™ THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE FORMULATIONS PROCESSING GUIDE 2 Therma-Tech Therma-Tech™ Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations have been engineered to combine the heat transfer and cooling capabilities of metals with the design freedom, weight reduction and cost advantages of thermoplastics. These materials provide the benefits of proprietary conductive additive technologies and the performance of select engineering thermoplastic resins. Therma-Tech formulations have been shown to improve thermal conductivity by 50-100 times that of conventional plastics and can be used in a wide range of thermal management applications.

ThermoBallistic™ thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with layers of 0°/90° unidirectional E-glass fiber reinforcements with polyolefin-based resin systems. Electrically non-conductive

However, separating these high-voltage parts from other components in the vehicle is crucial to prevent damage or injury. A cautionary orange color is often used in EVs to distinguish high-voltage power connectors and cables from other parts.

Carbon fiber is known for its strength, toughness, vibration damping, and electric conductivity, while fiberglass offers excellent mechanical and insulative properties. Less maintenance — Composites are considered low-maintenance materials because they do not rust or corrode and are resistant to high temperatures. For example, thermoset composites have high temperature resistance and excellent fatigue resistance.
