THE SOLUTION
This coordinated effort resulted in the innovative
Modular Protective System (MPS) portable structure,
which incorporates an Edwards-designed collapsible
truss framework and Avient’s GlasArmor™ ballistic
resistant composite panels.
THE IMPACT
The MPS incorporates Avient’s custom-formulated
GlasArmor ballistic panels that meet Level 3 protection
under Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 standards for
ballistic resistance.
Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic-
resistant panels that were not only compatible with the
required hardware but also met color requirements for
better visual cover once deployed.

PACKAGING SOLUTIONS
CHEMICAL RESISTANT
SOLUTIONS FOR COSMETIC,
PERSONAL CARE AND
HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING
We’ve developed a line of chemical resistant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that do not discolor, etch, crack or
delaminate.
What’s more, they are FDA and REACH compliant and resist those chemicals particular to cosmetics,
personal care, and household products.
CHEMICAL RESISTANT TPEs ADD FUNCTIONALITY THAT BRINGS VALUE
TO CONSUMERS
• Chemical Resistance – Resists aggressive
soaps, detergents, lotions, oils and solvents
found in cosmetic, personal care and
household products
• Regulatory* – Compositionally compliant
with certain FDA and REACH regulations
• Value – Economical alternative to silicone
and over-engineered medical grade TPEs
• Easy to Process – Can be injection molded
and overmolded right onto the substrate
including PP, ABS, etc

Among
the required properties were high strength and stiffness,
impact resistance, moderate temperature resistance and low
warpage.
This material offers
the stiffness and high impact performance required to support
and secure multiple electronic attachments, and provides the
impact and temperature resistance needed.
Excellent performance = customer satisfaction: The
strength, impact resistance, low warpage and additional
properties of Bergamid resin help ensure the part meets
stringent OEM requirements and satisfies its customers
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/EZR Gun Grip Case Study.pdf
EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be
chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide
or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient
in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting
aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition
65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to
Californians about significant exposures to chemicals
that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other
reproductive harm).
This technology also helps achieve
superior grip properties, improving haptics for a
better sense of touch and feel while remaining UV-
resistant, chemical resistant to DEET and oils, and
bio-compatible.
