Apart from pathogenic microbes and their apparent
impact on human health, bacteria and fungi can also
cause staining, unpleasant odors, and deterioration of
polymeric product performance over time.[4,5] To reduce
the spread of infection through casual contact with con-
taminated plastic surfaces, or to extend the useful life of
polymer products by preventing the development of said
staining or odors, antimicrobial technologies can be
employed.[6] For the latter scenario, the use of Environ-
mental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered biocides in
plastic components is allowable under the “Treated Arti-
cles Exemption” set forth by The Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, which enables polymeric
articles to be treated for the purposes of material preser-
vation or protection without additional registration
requirements.[7]
Within the plastics industry, there are certain applica-
tions and products where biocides have already found
significant usage.
It can also be seen in Figure 3B that the rea-
sonable contact clarity is achievable, but the haze is very
apparent (ca. 30%) when the sample is not directly in con-
tact with the desired substrate.

While conventional air emissions are a critical and a highly-influential
topic in some industrial sectors, as a specialty formulator of purchased materials, Avient’s conventional air emission
levels are de minimis and not material.

• Meet Aggressive Sustainability Goals - While brand owners have made
strong, public sustainability commitments – many are currently trailing far
behind goals
• Develop Strategies to Minimize Plastic Waste - Plastic waste remains
a global priority with consumers and legislatures – forcing brand owners to
implement tangible mitigation strategies
• Increase Post Consumer Recycle (PCR) Utilization & Post
Consumer Recycle Availability - Increasing the use of PCR is far more
challenging than many companies had anticipated
• Meet Legislation Requirements - Legislatures are drafting financial
penalties for companies unable or unwilling to meet post-consumer recycled
content targets
