We have also developed a wide range of products that are compatible with biodegradable and compostable polymer materials such as Novamont’s Mater-Bi, which are widely used in agriculture.

Color masterbatch formulations can produce opaque colors or can be developed with the appropriate pigment particle size and loading to enable translucent colors.

To get help in finding the best alternative material that could be produced faster and more efficiently, the manufacturer turned to Avient. Starting with specific performance requirements, Avient’s formulation experts set to work developing several thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) grades that could deliver better productivity and enhanced key properties than the silicone rubber part.

This requires developing manufacturing facilities equipped with ultra-clean feeders, deionized water systems, and specific HVAC systems to ensure the highest levels of cleanliness and control ionic and metal contamination down to parts per billion (PPB). Depending on your application’s performance needs, Avient can develop a custom Stat-Tech formulation to provide anti-static properties, dissipation, conduction, and electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shielding.     Avient can be a strategic innovation partner in this high-paced, high-innovation application market.
