Home // Protecting Polymers from Microbe Growth As such, there’s a trend to reduce microbial populations on high-touch surfaces via the use of antimicrobials to protect material aesthetics and durability or to prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms. To better evaluate how to protect plastic parts from microbial attack, Avient conducted a study to screen a variety of plastic substrates for susceptibility using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial susceptibility) test standards.

Home // Military-Grade Protection for U.S. The composite material is 25% the weight of comparable steel structures and also weights significantly less than concrete, making them easily deployable in the field.   Level 3 ensures protection against a .44 magnum lead semi-wadcutter gas-checked projectile.

Modular ballistic protection made possible with GlasArmor™ composites Home // Tough Enough to Protect the Power Grid Protection to UL 752 levels 1, 2, & 3 and NIJ Levels I, II, & IIIA test standards.
