ECO-CONSCIOUS FLEXIBLE FOAM GUN GRIP SLEEVES HIT THE MARK ECO-CONSCIOUS PLASTISOLS IMPROVE THE FIREARM EXPERIENCE AND MEET GUIDELINES THE CHALLENGE EZR Sport® is an American company specializing in grips for industrial & military manufacturers since 1964. EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition 65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other reproductive harm). THE IMPACT By using Avient’s CORE formulation combined with the proprietary manufacturing process from EZR Sport, the companies created an exceptional foam cell structure, providing excellent shock absorption with a cushioning effect for steady hand placement.
