Homepage // News Center // Avient to Present on Lightweighting Design Innovation and Sustainable Additive Solutions at the Plastics in Automotive Engineering Conference The second presentation, titled Management of Vehicle Indoor Air Quality with Sustainable Polymer Additive Solutions, will discuss developing a range of emission and VOC-controlling technologies that can reduce undesirable material emissions, increasing safety and comfort. Visitors to Avient’s booth #17 can expect to see examples of foamed parts and molded-in-colors for automotive interiors, including aesthetic effects such as speckles, sparkles, and metallics, in addition to the latest ColorForward™ Color Trend Forecast.

These antibacterial and antifungal additives reduce growth of bacteria, mold and fungus on the surface and through the thickness of the plastic part. WithStand antimicrobial additives can be combined with colorants or other functional additives in a single masterbatch or liquid solution to get the exact performance needed.

Avient and IVCC are creating a new masterbatch production laboratory in Guangzhou, China to support research and development of novel, active insecticide ingredients for long-lasting insecticidal treated nets (LLINs).  It will provide a medium-scale platform for testing and developing masterbatch formulations with insecticides to speed up the process of bringing LLINs to the market. With extensive global expertise in groundbreaking material solutions to support malaria control, Avient has the capabilities to optimize masterbatch formulations for LLINs to deliver ideal insecticide performance.
