This is achieved by molding a soft skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic. The TPE chemistry and the type of engineering plastic play a critical role in influencing wettability. The bond strength between the TPE and the engineering plastic was measured by performing a “90o Peel Test”.

While commodity plastics can typically maintain performance only up to 100°C, and engineering plastics do the same up to 120°C, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C while also maintaining low temperature impact. Automotive: Demand for plastics to handle increasing temperatures due to the proliferation of electronics in engine compartments and tighter spaces. Most high-heat plastics are hygroscopic, so careful drying is needed to avoid potential processing issues.

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.

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.

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.
