Are UV protection and/or flame retardant packages available?

Functional additives to provide features such as low friction, UV protection, solvent-free laser markings and component assembly welding

The Edgetek PKE series can be pre-colored or colored at the press and further customized to meet specific application needs, such as improved UV stability.

OnForce™ LFT adds strength and UV resistance in street light arm 

reSound™ REC TPEs: specially developed for automotive interiors, formulated with 55% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content to offer a more sustainable alternative to standard TPE grades without compromising performance criteria such as ultraviolet (UV) stability, low volatile organic compound (VOC) content, low odor, and low fogging in applications such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) nozzles, interior mats, and cup holders

NEU™ Custom Capabilities and NEUSoft™ Thermoplastics Polyurethanes (TPUs): a series of ultra-soft TPUs for short-term in-vivo applications that are available in custom colors with excellent ultraviolet (UV) stability and barrier properties, offer good elasticity, resistance to abrasions and tears, barrier properties, and melt strength for use in catheter applications, including cardiovascular, intravenous, and other specialty segments 

NEW at Avient In 2022, Avient launched new technologies and services designed to enable the sustainability commitments set by our customers in the packaging market, including: ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ UV Light Barrier for PET effectively blocks ultraviolet light transmission, protecting product integrity, without impacting the circularity. The Solution & Impact By utilizing a combination of Avient’s OnColor™ Colorants, Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents, and Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants & Additives, we enabled the OEM to reduce weight and carbon emissions in panel doors, increase UV resistance in instrument panels and replace traditional paint processes in central consoles. All of these form factors share these winning properties: • Ultra high strength versus weight (15 times stronger than steel, on weight per weight ratio) • Low elongation at breaking point • High resistance to UV radiation • Chemically inert • Floats on water • Highly flexible • High energy absorption • No smell or taste, non-toxic • Self-lubricating, with low friction Dyneema® UD is a unidirectional composite laminate that provides the lightest weight protection with maximum flexibility and comfort for use in protective armor applications including soft armor, hard armor, helmets and frag knits.
