https://www.avient.com/news/avient-launches-artisan-high-gloss-pre-colored-thermoplastics-paint-replacement
Targeted at products for the consumer market, Artisan™ nylon (PA6) is the first material in a series of high-gloss, scratch-resistant pre-colored thermoplastics formulated to replace paint.
Parts molded from Artisan pre-colored thermoplastics offer excellent scratch resistance compared to painted plastic, which minimizes the appearance of scratches.
Replacing painted metal parts with Artisan materials also improves corrosion resistance.

Are current metal parts plagued with performance problems, such as corrosion?
Plastics inherently resist corrosion, eliminating concerns about rust and other forms of oxidation that can compromise metal components.
They are also up to 100 times more fatigue-resistant than polymers reinforced with short fibers, offering a high degree of mechanical resistance to high loads.

These materials provide exceptional chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, excellent dimensional stability, and high impact and wear resistance.
The reinforced grades are targeted at applications in the industrial, electronics and transportation markets like pipes and tubing, electrical battery components, and under-the-hood fuel or chemical contact components.
The LubriOne PKE series are internally lubricated grades that combine chemical resistance performance with improved wear resistance and low coefficient of friction properties.

Trilliant™ HC high performance formulations were
developed for specific healthcare enclosure needs,
including:
• Chemical resistance to common disinfectants
• UL 94 ratings of 5VA at 3.0, V-0 at 1.5 mm &
V-1 at 0.75 mm
• Retained color aesthetics after chemical
exposure
• Ability to utilize existing PC/PET & COPE tooling
Tested using an adaptation from ASTM D543 for
environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR),
15 bars of each material were placed into jigs at
1% and 2% strain.
The problem is that most polymer device housings are not able to resist repeated exposure to the chemicals
involved in disinfection without cracking, crazing, or otherwise losing structural integrity.
Designed for two-
shot injection molding and formulated for the
appropriate substrate, these medical-grade TPEs
are compatible with rigid PVC, copolyesters, all
PC alloys, ABS, TPUs and PEI substrates.
