Microbe growth on plastic can deteriorate performance and also lead to undesirable staining and odor issues. To better evaluate how to protect plastic parts from microbial attack, Avient conducted a study to screen a variety of plastic substrates for susceptibility using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial susceptibility) test standards.

SHANGHAI – April 20, 2018 – Next week at CHINAPLAS, the largest plastics trade fair in Asia, PolyOne will showcase a variety of breakthrough polymers, colorants, and additives that are enabling manufacturers and designers to unlock new potential.  This striking new line finally meets the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish, and may even help customers to replace metal parts or plating for plastic parts. They also resist abrasion and ultraviolet (UV) rays to maintain long-lasting aesthetics, and eliminate assembly steps with a one-step overmolding process.

TECHNICAL ANALYSES • DSC: Thermal analyses to characterize polymers, additives and colorants • TGA: Thermogravimetric analysis to evaluate thermal stability, plus inorganic pigment, and carbon black content in the Masterbatch • FT-IR: Infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of raw materials • Incineration oven to determine inorganic content • Melt Flow Tester to measure the Melt Flow Rate of MBs and Polymers • Filter test to measure the dispersion quality and aggregate content of materials contained in the polymer matrix • Intrinsic/Relative Viscosity of Masterbatches and polymers • Moisture content in the liquid colorants, MBs and polymers • UV-Visible spectrometry: instrumental evaluation of the color on yarn to perform quality control, color matchings and recipes adjustments • Yarn testing to evaluate mechanical properties, abrasion, dry heat, rubbing and other characteristics • Our pilot spinning lines have state-of-the-art take-up winders that spin up to 4,500 meters/minute.

TPE chemistry and the type of engineering plastic play a critical role in influencing wettability. Many consumers prefer a “warm” soft touch feel over a hard plastic feel. Wear and UV resistance, as well as resistance to dirt and skin oil are also important.
