In fact, its
engineers routinely test and validate a host of new
composite applications.
Testing showed that the first option was an estimated
33% lighter than the aluminum part, with a 36% increase
in flexural stiffness.
For validation, engineers put the braces through an
extensive vibration, shake, and road test regime to
measure fatigue strength.

Our testing has revealed that
packaging made with Impress Colorants has no
flow lines to disrupt the brilliant glossy surface.
Our testing has shown that packaging
manufactured with Impress does not have flow

PERFORMANCE
The following chart shows the efficiency of Cesa
Light Additives in minimizing color variations
induced by long sunlight exposure.
The white ABS
plastic samples, produced with and without Cesa
Light Additives, were exposed to simulated sunlight
conditions using the weathering test ISO 4892-
2:2013.

HOW IT WORKS
Select allows you to:
• Instantaneously create a new color using
your own standards, spectrophotometer or
colorimeter data, or the software’s
built-in design tools
• Produce small quantities of color masterbatch
for use in validating your color match
• Combine advanced liquid colorants,
cloud-access software and automated
dispensing technology
• Carry out color modeling and rapid iteration
Select also helps you:
• Choose the right color by providing a quick
and cost effective way to model, sample, and
test color options
• Facilitate prototyping and variation testing

Ready for testing, the new material was subjected to
rigorous environmental testing, including months of
sun exposure and long-term placement in humidity-rich
environments.
In response to the tests, Avient leveraged
its expansive portfolio of specialty additives to tailor
the TPE for enhanced UV resistance and to inhibit mold
growth—leading to an end product that would perform
better for longer.
