There is a strong global trend and awareness for enhanced well-being, comfort, and safety in the post-pandemic era,” said Bob Lee, General Manager, Color and Additives Greater China at Avient. Cesa Withstand additives include organic and inorganic ingredients to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi on the plastic surface, providing uncompromising antimicrobial performance. The two new available grades of Cesa Withstand for TPU film can meet the specific anti-bacterial and anti-mold protection needs of medical beds, transparent tent components, and ice bags.

Additional benefits of the material include a UL Yellow Card V-0 flammability rating, pre-colored capabilities for simplified molding, and a wider processing window to help accommodate a variety of molding environments.

ESTABLISHING A PROCESS – THE SCIENTIFIC MOLDING METHOD The scientific method of molding is a way of creating the largest processing window for the mold and material. It provides additional mixing to the melt, which is especially helpful when using colorants. Injection Mold Design Engineering.

By using Artisan pre-colored ABS thermoplastics, molders are able to produce parts with a brilliant, high-gloss metallic effect without any secondary processing. Compared with a traditional painting process, injection-molded Artisan materials have lower energy requirements and reduced VOC emissions, making these thermoplastics a more sustainable solution. Artisan ABS formulations are currently manufactured in Asia in customizable, metallic colors, and are available for purchase globally.

Design a white or light-colored phone case that doesn’t stain from dye. GLS™ TPEs - Injection Molding Guide Stain resistant TPEs for white or light-colored phone cases

Its design team determined the need for a soft-touch material with strong chemical resistance and color stability for the mouse grip.  The material facilitates two-shot molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly. Avient and the manufacturer conducted a series of molding trials to establish proper part performance, and the teams also coordinated sales, engineering and technical support in tandem.
