Clarity and yellowness remains an industry challenge for thermoplastics with bulk- imbedded antimicrobial additives. Notably, the addition of blue tint can effectively decrease the YI to a level below FIGURE 2 Results of Japanese Industrial Standard Z2801 testing for various GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer line products; 24-h bacteria viability reported in mean CFU/sample is plotted for a series of samples with increased ZPT loading.

In addition, sustainable formulations are available for enhancements such as lightweighting or paint replacement and volatile organic compound (VOC) reduction.  

Pre-colored Geon™ FX Metal rigid vinyl lets manufacturers achieve a bold metallic look without the limitations, costs and environmental challenges seen with other methods, such as plating, painting or film lamination. 

Lastly, molded-in color (MIC) metallics offer a means of eliminating paint resulting in reduced VOCs and fewer processing steps for energy savings and a lower carbon footprint.
