COLOR, MATERIAL & FINISH PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN INFLUENCING
CONSUMER PERCEPTION.
WHAT COLORS AND MATERIALS ARE ‘IN’?
New materials, colors, textures and visual effects are
constantly being developed.

At the same time, this material makes the housing lighter and
more compact than aluminum.
Design freedom – Stat-Tech material is injection
moldable, enabling function integration and thin
wall housing construction, without compromising
dimensional stability.

When used with a
catalyst masterbatch, these materials enable
the manufacturing of thermoset insulation
using the silane chemical crosslinking process.
This material
meets the industry standards typical for cable
insulation.

Avient has served the healthcare industry for decades with a full portfolio of innovative materials and services.
TEST METHOD
Fifteen bars of each material were placed into jigs at 1% and 2%
strain.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

It wanted
to avoid the brittleness, cracking and resulting
product recalls and added costs that happen when the
material is put in contact with harsh disinfectants.
The
manufacturer was struggling to find a replacement
material with excellent chemical resistance and a high
flame retardant rating.
During stress
testing, materials were exposed for seven days at either
1.0% strain or 1.5% strain.

Although a very durable material,
metal can present a challenge as it can become slippery
when wet.
Achieving the non-slip handle Victorinox envisioned
required a soft material for the new grip areas that
would chemically bond to a rigid polymer underneath.
Avient
provided product development assistance and testing,
and ultimately delivered customized materials that met
strict requirements for durability.
