HOW STAT-TECH MATERIAL MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE
ADAS SENSORS, CAMERAS AND ECUS
Protection from static buildup – Stat-Tech
material reduces static buildup with surface
resistivity between 1.0E+2 ohms and 1.0E+6 ohms,
minimizing sparks from damaging nearby electrical
components, especially those near fuel storage.

This helps increase productivity and reduce energy
consumption, helping to reduce carbon emissions.
It increases
polymer IV in the melt phase, allowing for:
• Improved rPET quality and performance
• Higher target IV’s
• Reduced solid state polymerization time
• Increased productivity
It also aids in the drive towards the circular
economy and helps Brand Owners achieve
sustainability targets through:
• Reduced carbon emissions
• Increased rPET content

Carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and
methane) generated by individual actions.
How does Avient help reduce carbon footprint?
Furthermore, Avient has instituted an internal cost of carbon to encourage investments in low-carbon
and carbon-free technologies.

In this
study, a variety of plastic substrates (30 unique polymer compounds), including
poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene), poly(butylene terephthalate),
poly(etherimide), various thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), poly(carbonates), and
poly(amides), were screened for susceptibility to microbial attack using American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese
Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial suscep-
tibility) test standards.
Control samples (top row) are shown for comparison to samples post-incubation and washing (bottom row)
