Avient Corp., Avon Lake, OH) containing ZPT (Lonza Group AG, Morristown, New Jersey) was formulated into select grades of Versaflex™ and OnFlex™ GLS™ TPEs. Color and haze measurements were taken using a Datacolor 650™ dual-beam spectro- photometer (Datacolor Holding AG, Lawrenceville, New Jersey) in transmission mode. Only polyamide-6 exhibited a nota- ble change in fungal growth from trace (rating = 1) to heavy (rating = 4) when comparing smooth and textured surfaces, respectively.

To quantify risk and reduce it over time, Avient monitors several key performance indicators on a regular basis: Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR), Lost Time Injury/Illness Rate(LTIR), and Injuries of High Consequence (IOHC). These rates are compiled globally and reported on a monthly basis to all leadership personnel in the company. These leading indicators include the continuous monitoring of progress on corrective and preventive actions, the number of risk assessments performed, details on the amount of risk eliminated or mitigated, the number of internal audits conducted and participation rates of Global Safety Day activities.
