The effective reduction of bacterial activity that can be achieved on TPU film laminated plastic and/or textile surfaces has been confirmed in extensive testing to international standards, including JIS 2801. The additives have also passed strict anti-fungus testing according to JIS Z 2911.

CLEVELAND – October 31, 2018 – At MD&M Minneapolis today, PolyOne Corporation announced that Trilliant™ HC material outperforms FR PC/ABS after exposure to harsh disinfectants, according to tensile strength stress tests performed by an independent A2LA-accredited lab. Testing results show that Trilliant HC 2020 retains higher tensile strength than common FR PC/ABS materials after seven-day exposure to typical disinfectants.

PolyOne testing shows that ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020G is one of the most robust oxygen scavengers for PET rigid containers, with negligible effects on efficacy for the rPET grades tested, while other competitive materials lost almost all oxygen scavenging ability with rPET content as low as 20 percent.

The colorant solutions are available in PP and PE (HDPE and LDPE) and produced with ingredients tested to European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3 and 3.1.5 as well as to USP chapters , including class VI (a requirement for ophthalmic and nasal drugs) and USP and (light transmission). Avient also offers pre-tested colorants for caps and closures used in pharmaceutical packaging.​

It is important that a supplier can offer technical support to help customers test materials, overcome manufacturing issues, and ensure optimum processing parameters are used.   Avient’s Technical Services Team can assist with material testing and processing optimization.  

Standard testing protocols typically involve one full recycle loop, but as the use of rPET increases, it becomes essential to test through multiple recycle loops.

The raw materials are pre-tested to the relevant chapters of ISO 10991, USP 661, USP Class VI, EP 3.1 and to the ICH Q3D guidelines to help manufacturers increase the certainty of regulatory compliance for their devices and packaging. This compliance testing, combined with the support of our healthcare experts, can make transfers of projects involving custom products from one region to another easier and faster.
