Even more important, the Avient solution solved critical manufacturing issues that were affecting productivity, quality and cost.

Increase Sustainability Using More Recycled Content OnColor SC Super Concentrates give you the flexibility to incorporate higher levels of post- consumer regrind (PCR) than with traditional color masterbatches to help meet sustainability initiatives and recycled content requirements without adversely affecting the performance or aesthetic of your designs.

MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT CRACKING AND CRAZING Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing disinfectant-related failures DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE ON POLYMER HOUSINGS Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital- acquired infections can damage equipment and result in material failures, such as: • Stress cracking • Crazing • Discoloration CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS VARY BY ENVIRONMENT • Patient/exam rooms • Operating and radiology rooms • Reception areas • Home (patient equipment & devices) Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip the performance of traditional polymers.

CUTTING EDGE EQUIPMENT Explore how polymer formulations elevate the aesthetics, durability, and performance of lawn equipment to meet consumer demands and keep your brand ahead of the competition.

APPLICATION BULLETIN 1 Typical properties: these are not to be construed as specifications HOW TRILLIANT™ HC FORMULATIONS HELP TO SOLVE THE MOST DIFFICULT PERFORMANCE AND PROCESS CHALLENGES Trilliant HC conductive thermoplastics can be customized to meet your unique challenges.

HOW AVIENT CUSTOM POLYMER FORMULATIONS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE FOR 5G BASE STATION ANTENNA PHASE SHIFTS Faster Design Qualification & Shorter Lead Times – Avient can custom formulate materials to specific Dk values, sample within one week, and deliver on production quantities within two to three weeks.

HOW GLS TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN INFANT CARE APPLICATIONS • Safe to Use – Made without bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, or heavy metals; select grades compliant with FDA, REACH and China GB4806 • Durable – Resists bites and tears; many are tested and safe to use in microwaves and dishwashers • Comfortable – Can be overmolded to provide a soft touch grip and customized to specific comfort requirements including vibration and noise reduction • Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and overmolded right onto a substrate including PP, ABS, etc

Such advice, for example how to set up blow molding machines, is not equipment specific and therefore ColorMatrix would always recommend using local or expert technicians in addition to following best practice points listed below; • Preforms should be conditioned for minimum 24 hours prior to blowing • Preforms should always be used in a FIFO manner (First In, First Out) • Octabins of preforms should be segregated and blown per resin type, i.e. not mixed with other resins • A preform traceability system should be in place such that any process upsets can be quickly followed up and corrected • Enhanced QC preform checking resources for bottle distribution, aesthetics and integrity should be on-hand during the performance optimization trials • Prior to any process optimization, the blowing machine performance should be verified as being within normal i.e. accepted standard ranges and all important components and control features are working satisfactorily.
