Add an extra level of protection to plastic products with Avient’s portfolio of repellant and antimicrobial additives. Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial Additives counteract bacteria, fungi and microbes to enhance the performance of plastic products and devices. Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial Additives give your plastic products an added layer of defense against microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, and fungi.

Bio-polymers are already used with success in different plastic products, notably in packaging, but to be used in healthcare applications, they need to be evaluated to the relevant protocols to support regulatory compliance of the end article. Avient provides pre-tested color and additive concentrates based on bio-polymers to minimize the risk of non-compliance and support a more sustainable profile for plastic products used in the healthcare industry. Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

Cesa™ Stat Antistatic Additives for automotive interiors Plastics can attract dust particles, creating an unattractive smudgy film on their surface. Plastic parts in the passenger compartment develop electric charges as people get in and out of the vehicle and air circulates through the ventilating/air conditioning system. They bind themselves to the plastic in a three dimensional network so they do not contribute to VOC emissions.

TPE chemistry and the type of engineering plastic play a critical role in influencing wettability. We have modified ASTM D903 method for plastics to evaluate the adhesion of soft TPE onto rigid thermoplastic. Many consumers prefer a “warm” soft touch feel over a hard plastic feel.

If you are manufacturing plastics, you know there can be potential challenges in getting the colorants you need.

Provide a 0.003" to 0.005" (0.076 mm to 0.127 mm) interference when using plastic inserts or substrates, to take into account shrinkage, sinks and tolerances.
