Soft touch concentrates based on natural additives and colors can also be developed on request. KEY BENEFITS • Highly dispersed additives with high efficacy at low to moderate dosages • Excellent compatibility with the application resin • Non-phenolic and non-phthalate additives • Formulated without animal-derived substances • Food contact compliance according to US FDA and EU norms • OEM approvals for hygiene products • Can be combined with colors into a single combination concentrate for convenience • Product guidance and technical assistance from our experts

Silcosperse LM dispersions can also be combined with colorants without affecting the laser marking shade or effect. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Provides laser marking options of silicone materials • Eliminates the needs for etching and embossing • Faster and cleaner than pad printing • High contrast, permanent markings • Mechanical properties of the silicone matrix are maintained • Compatible with various types of lasers • Chemically resistant • Available in pre-colored or natural MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Silcosperse LM Laser Marking additive dispersions are suitable for a variety of applications within industries such as: • Consumer Goods • Electronics • Healthcare • Industrial • Transportation • Wire & Cable Typical applications and purposes include: • Traceability, UPC bar-coding, branding • Unique Device Identification (UDI), medical device ID’s • Serialization for pharmaceutical packaging • Safety taggants & equipment • Automotive components • Wire & cable part numbers or gauge size www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

The final solution was pre-colored to match the brand’s existing color palette and eliminate the need for secondary processing steps.

The hose manufacturer decided to explore other material options that would meet requirements such as excellent colorability, good surface appearance, high flow for optimal productivity, and of course, compliance with U.S. In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs.

These sustainable materials are also customizable, but changes to color or formulation to achieve application-specific needs will require the product carbon footprint to be recalculated. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Negative, neutral, or low PCF • Available in 60 and 80 Shore A • Performs like traditional TPEs • Naturally opaque and easy to color • Suitable to injection mold, or overmold onto PP and PE MARKETS & APPLICATIONS The portfolio of reSound ultra-low carbon footprint TPEs is ideal for brand owners and manufacturers who prefer to use a more sustainable material in personal care, household appliance, consumer electronics, and consumer packaging applications.

In addition to cost savings, replacing metal would enable the closure producer to provide its spirits customers with customization in density and color, because Gravi-Tech formulations are colorable, and can be tuned to replicate up to 5 times the density of traditional polymers.
