These specialty thermoplastic elastomers have imbedded, EPA-registered antimicrobial additives to inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more and resist fungal growth in finished plastic parts. GLS™ TPEs with imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more and resist fungal growth to protect finished plastic parts Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial Additives give your plastic products an added layer of defense against microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, and fungi.

Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers, a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced quality, durability and aesthetics. The new products have been very well received by consumers, and have allowed the company to neutralize the competitive threat from all-plastic sprayers. High-end product line = competitive advantage: With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully designed and produced a new, high-end product line that compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of appearance, performance and durability.

Fluoropolymers are a family of exceptional, high-performance materials that are widely used today – and for good reason, since they are stable plastics that resist degradation under harsh conditions and are inherently flame retardant. 2 Sina Ebnesajjad, “Introduction to Fluoropolymers,” Applied Plastics Engineering Handbook (Elsevier, 2011) pp 49-60.   3 The Fluoropolymers Division of the Society of the Plastics Industry, Guide to the Safe Handling of Fluoropolymer Resins–Fourth Edition (2005).
