To better evaluate how to protect plastic parts from microbial attack, Avient conducted a study to screen a variety of plastic substrates for susceptibility using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial susceptibility) test standards. Subsequent studies then assessed the use of an antimicrobial additive, zinc pyrithione (ZPT), for potential efficacy in a variety of TPE formulations for diverse applications.

Cesa™ Stat Additives & OnCap™ Anti-static Additives Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheets and film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick together. Avient’s anti-static solutions help avoid these problems, while also improving processability and mold release. Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

Fluoropolymers are also enabling new technologies: they are used as films that function as a lightweight alternative to glass in solar panels, and to make safe batteries for electric vehicles. Adding to their versatility, formulations can be designed using colors and specialty additives to meet specific needs.   Color masterbatch formulations can produce opaque colors or can be developed with the appropriate pigment particle size and loading to enable translucent colors.
