Specifically developed for customers who want to enhance the sustainability of their general-purpose applications, the grades can be used for colored overmolded components in consumer electronics, caps and closures for non-food applications, product grips for razors and personal care products, handles for bicycles and power tools, and other overmolding applications. 

Both grades, designed for two-shot injection molding, provide a soft touch and grippy feel to enhance ergonomics, comfort and ease of use for housings of hand-held scanners, patient monitors, infusion pumps, defibrillators, reusable surgical devices and other durable medical devices.

We harness the collective strength of more than 9,000 employees worldwide to collaborate and build on each other’s ideas.

To support customer needs, manufacturing of these grades may be translated to other Avient sites in North America and Asia.

When designing with metals like aluminum, zinc, iron, steel, and other alloys, designers face various processing challenges and design constraints.

Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Metal armoring is utilized within the cable structure to protect against cracking; however, as environmental temperatures fluctuate, the armoring and other cable materials expand and contract at different ratios, further increasing the risk of cracking.

On the other hand, color trends based on deep-rooted societal changes have greater authenticity and staying power.
