UV Light Barrier for PET: ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ Proprietary light barrier technology that protects your content from the harmful effects of UV rays

Results & benefits Avient has applied the Digimat material model to two different load cases, a flexural test and a tensile test. In addition to providing a robust way to account for differing gate locations from the manufacturing process, Hexagon’s Digimat multiscale modelling approach provides significant improvements in the accuracy of the stiffness and failure.
