Conductive pipette tips are primarily used in automated laboratory and production settings with robotic pipettors to measure and dispense exact amounts of liquid. High-quality conductive pipette tips must meet a number of demanding performance criteria, including: • Accurate measurement of minute quantities of liquid • Hydrophobic properties to minimize fluid retention • Concentric dimensions and warp resistance • Excellent chemical resistance The manufacturer asked Avient for a specialized solution to meet these exacting needs in a timely and efficient manner so they could capitalize on its market opportunity THE SOLUTION Avient’s sales and technical professionals worked closely with the manufacturer to understand the demanding requirements of the end-use application, manufacturing considerations and cost. Avient determined that the manufacturer required a material with a unique combination of properties, including: • Processing ease – high flow rate, ability to fill multi-cavity molds, thin-wall capabilities • Superior toughness – strength and durability to ensure dimensional integrity of the part • Repeatable performance – consistent conductivity for accurate measurement of liquids While several off-the-shelf compounds were evaluated, a new formulation was developed to meet the manufacturer’s specific needs as well as provide signifi cant benefi ts in reduced cycle time, increased production and reduced scrap rate.

This additive helps PET packaging to protect longer shelf life products, especially ultra-high temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products, from visible-light induced oxidation due to ambient storage conditions. Traditionally, UHT liquid dairy products have been packaged in laminated paperboard cartons, pouches, or multilayer high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. As a result, light induced oxidation is minimized and properties and taste are preserved, even at the lengthy ambient shelf life common with UHT liquid dairy products.
