Targeted at products for the consumer market, Artisan™ nylon (PA6) is the first material in a series of high-gloss, scratch-resistant pre-colored thermoplastics formulated to replace paint. Parts molded from Artisan pre-colored thermoplastics offer excellent scratch resistance compared to painted plastic, which minimizes the appearance of scratches. Replacing painted metal parts with Artisan materials also improves corrosion resistance.

Unlike surface treatments, they are blended into the polymer during the spin-dyeing process and are more resistant to washing and wearing off. Non- toxic, non-corrosive and flameproof, inorganic antimicrobials have no negative impact on plastic and synthetic fiber processing.

Low smoke, toxicity & corrosiveness High chemical resistance - UV and Weather Resistant High oil resistance

These materials resist temperature and corrosion in ways that metal cannot always match.

We are seeing a steady increase in the demand for fitness clothing, as people are becoming more health-conscious,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. With the new Versaflex TF Adhesive TPEs, manufacturers can create close-fitting bodywear textiles that offer consumers a more comfortable exercise experience. Available in colored or transparent applications, they also show good resistance to discoloration, fading, or hazing.

SAN DIEGO – March 18, 2024 – Today, Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, announced it will highlight Polystrand™ thermoplastic composite solutions, including new ThermoBallistic™ ballistic-resistant panels, next week at the American Composites Manufacturing Association (ACMA) Thermoplastic Composites Conference (TCC), a conference dedicated to the advancement of thermoplastic composite materials and applications through education and networking.   Polystrand continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials offer high strength, weight reduction, and corrosion resistance for products across a broad range of industries and markets. ThermoBallistic panels that provide structural bullet-resistant reinforcement to meet UL 752 Level 3 ballistic rating for interior and exterior architectural surfaces and components at a lighter weight than traditional panel materials

There are commonly known blends, such as material for a phone case or a fitness wearable. chemical resistant or fire retardant Are TPEs chemically resistant?
