PC is a popular material of choice thanks to its versatile characteristics and recyclability. It is increasingly replacing more traditional construction materials such as glass and acrylic, meaning the need for better color solutions has never been greater. Specialty toner for PC materials for premium surface finish, color consistency and better cost effectiveness

During development and prototyping, the engineers used an SBS-type elastomer for this critical component – but they hadn’t settled on materials for mass production. Andwin Scientific sought out a supplier, knowing that any materials needed to be inert to liquid medicines such as amoxicillin – not to mention FDA-compliant.  Avient’s knowledge of materials, applied to our specific needs, gave us better consistency and quality,” says Andwin Scientific General Manager Ryan Smith.
