PERSONAL CARE DEVICES P A T I E N T M O B I L I T Y • Diminish the growth of harmful microbes on surfaces without compromising product performance • Achieve cohesive color across different polymeric materials with the addition of antimicrobial ingredients • Accelerate product development timeline • Preserved polymer performance by minimizing undesirable microbes • Designed a masterbatch solution that achieved color harmony between diverse polymeric materials even with the addition of antimicrobial ingredients • Accelerated speed to market by several weeks with Avient’s pre-tested material and supplier expertise while reducing costs of lab testing fees by up to $50,000 Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial Additives with OnColor™ Colorants KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

Incorporating composite materials in snowboard bindings is not a new concept. And, unlike thermosets, thermoplastic materials are able to be easily thermoformed to the exact shape required before inserting into the injection mold. And beyond giving credibility to marketing claims, Rome’s team was impressed by the design freedom that our material offered

The formulations contain 25–70% post-consumer recycled (PCR) or post-industrial recycled (PIR) content, expanding material solution options for achieving sustainability goals. Aimed at delivering environmental benefits such as reduced carbon footprint and lower energy consumption, these materials are formulated to perform in the market and meet the growing desires of environmentally conscious consumers. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Cesa™ Clean masterbatch additives are formulated to effectively clean process tooling and machinery during material or color changeovers. Cesa™ Clean Additives WHEN TO USE CESA CLEAN As a best practice, Cesa Clean adds value when used for: • Color changeovers • Material and formulation changes • Shutdown or startup • Machine maintenance WHY USE CESA CLEAN Some of the ways you can benefit from consistently using Cesa Clean: • Improve production uptime with faster color changeovers • Reduce wasted melt puddle material • Reduce resin use during purging • Non-abrasive and safe to use on precision equipment PRODUCT BULLETIN Cesa Clean solutions are available for use in a variety of processing conditions and operating temperatures. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Multiple components, each made from different materials, did not appear to be the same color. As a result, the design team at the OEM struggled to find a supplier who could achieve tight color matching tolerances across diverse polymeric materials. This combined additive and color technology not only solved the color harmony challenge across all polymers used in the various components of the personal care device, but also accelerated testing because the Cesa WithStand antimicrobial material used had been pre-tested for polymeric integrity.

The elastomeric material, used to overmold a cuff on the end of the hose, demonstrated inconsistent quality and sub-par flow properties. The company also sought a vendor who could provide rapid delivery and reliable material supply to avoid production delays. Cost savings: The hose manufacturer is saving $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material.

Material selection is a crucial step in any new product development project, but that is just the beginning. However, to ensure your material performs as intended, there are several technical considerations to examine. This involves considerations with industrial design, material selection, simulation results, and optimization of the overall design as you learn to leverage the unique capabilities of the LFT material.

Higher density materials absorb more energy than lower densities, so materials like steel have higher thermal conductivity than less-dense ceramics. Materials exhibiting lower thermal inertia cool faster due to less resistance in releasing heat from the material into the air. Higher density materials typically have higher thermal inertia, or cool more slowly, than lower density materials.
