A well-known manufacturer of private label toothbrushes and dental care products for national drug store chains chose Avient to enhance the performance of their toothbrushes. In a relatively short time, the Avient team was able to formulate additives that performed well at lower let-down ratios. As an added benefit, Avient designed a universal carrier that enabled the manufacturer to use the same additives across a variety of olefins, elastomers, and other resins.

Each stage can result in material loss and degradation, impacting the overall yield. These additives should not negatively impact the recyclability of PET and should help maintain the integrity of the recycled material. Avient offers solutions that address many of these challenges, helping to enhance the circularity of PET and promote a more sustainable packaging industry.

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.

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.

Avient PlastiComp Complēt™ & OnForce™ long fiber composite pellets are manufactured using a pultrusion process.  This fiber to polymer bond is key to obtaining optimum performance and having a true composite material.  Typically for injection molding processing 12 mm (0.5 inch) long pellets are the standard length to facilitate material handling and feeding into processing equipment.
