We use our proven expertise in formulating
high temperature thermoplastics to create
formulations based on materials that include:
• PEEK • PSU
• PEI • LCP
• PES • PPS
• PPSU
These specialty formulations give manufacturers
confidence in the reliability and durability of
their products.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-09/antimicrobials-for-electronics-application-bulletin.pdf
Specifically,
these additives have been proven to be effective
inhibiting E. coli and MRSA across these resins:
• TPE/TPU • PET
• HDPE • ABS
• POM • PP
• PC
Custom formulations can be validated for various
resin types, and under specific processing
conditions, at an independent testing lab to ensure
results in commercialization.
