Tested to ASTM D6866, they aim to reduce screen printers’ reliance on fossil fuel-based inks. Wilflex Revive inks are currently offered in a base and white and are compatible with the Wilflex Epic PC Express Color Mixing System.

Teams from all three companies worked together to develop new designs based on Trilliant™ Healthcare Radiation Shielding Compound, a high-density, metallic-filled material. The material, a highly filled polymer based on Avient’s Gravi-Tech™ technology, is specifically formulated to address health care industry needs and regulations.

Istanbul-based IŞILSAN makes these plastic spinning tubes and bobbins, used on the world’s most advanced textile machinery to carry thread and spun yarn. Closely working together, IŞILSAN and a Avient technical team developed a new polyamide-based formulation that provided the wear resistance of LubriOne™ with improved structural strength.

For example, anthranilamide (ATA)-based acetaldehyde (AA) scavengers, commonly used in PET, can deposit on the molds during injection molding. One example is Avient’s patented AA scavenger, ColorMatrix™ AAnchor™ Acetaldehyde Scavenger, developed to mitigate the issues associated with ATA-based solutions.
