N95 masks, for example, rely on multi-layer construction, with a middle layer made from melt-blown non-woven material. Avient helped one customer improve their protective masks to better satisfy global demands. By introducing additives with charge storage properties, “charge traps” were created to capture the electret charge being applied to melt-blown non-woven material.

As such, there’s a trend to reduce microbial populations on high-touch surfaces via the use of antimicrobials to protect material aesthetics and durability or to prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms. 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.
