HellermannTyton decided to develop the seat securement part using injection-molded Bergamid resin in a standard black color. THE IMPACT By replacing traditional fabricated bent steel plate with injection-molded Bergamid PA 6 resin, HellermannTyton was able to duplicate key performance attributes while gaining new benefits in the areas of cost savings, design freedom and weight reduction. Injection molding = system cost savings: Compared to metal fabrication, which requires time-consuming secondary operations, injection molded plastics can be produced as a net-shape part in a single step, boosting productivity and lowering system costs.

ColorMatrix AAnchor provides enhanced recyclability and improved productivity due to excellent thermal stability, thereby eliminating processing issues related to sublimation and deposition on molds often caused by anthranilamide (ATA)-based AA scavengers. MECHANICAL STRENGTH – BURST TESTING Anthranilamide AAnchor 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com EASY INTEGRATION ColorMatrix AAnchor is a liquid dispersion additive easily incorporated into the PET stream during injection molding or extrusion using ColorMatrix standard liquid metering equipment. It is compatible with PET bottles formed from an extrusion blow-molded or stretch blow-molded process.

SOLVING PRODUCTION BOTTLENECKS WITH A CUSTOMIZED ADDITIVE FORMULATION © 2020, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more about WithStand Antimicrobials, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) THE CHALLENGE A well-known manufacturer of private label toothbrushes and dental care products for national drug store chains was experiencing several production problems in its molding operations. Because the toothbrushes were molded in both clear and opaque resins, the team had to explore two different avenues—one that preserved clarity and one that retained opacity. Testing was conducted to determine if formulations molded with the new additives would maintain sufficient antimicrobial functionality at the lower LDRs, and positive results were provided to the manufacturer.
