These materials were developed in response to consumer and industrial market demands for materials that can withstand increased cleaning and disinfecting protocols. These new grades offer application and design engineers a durable solution that reduces disinfectant-related failures, like cracking and crazing, so products and surfaces can last longer and look better.”  Edgetek ET8900 CR materials are available globally.

Thermoplastic Elastomers | Color & Design This approach maintained the streamlined design while controlling costs. Usability: Versalloy material makes a major contribution to the ruggedness and versatility of the device.

These advanced materials will help increase speed to market and design flexibility for 5G base station antenna manufacturers. New customizable Edgetek Formulations for 5G feature specific Dk values and reduced dissipation factors (Df), enabling faster design qualification and shorter lead times. Both materials can help 5G base station antenna manufactures to streamline their design and process development.

MILAN – December 10, 2024 – Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, today announced the launch of ColorForward™ 2026, its annual color trend forecasting tool for the plastics industry developed to support the design of impactful aesthetics for new consumer products.  These narratives are translated into aesthetic concepts using the expertise of a global team of color, material, and finish (CMF) and industry specialists. Avient offers ColorForward seminars at its six ColorWorks design and technology centers worldwide, as well as selected conferences and customer sites.
