At Avient, our purpose is to be an innovator of materials solutions that help customers succeed, while enabling a sustainable world. But innovation isn’t just about materials science - it’s about the combined expertise of 9,000 professionals bringing unique perspectives to every challenge.

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.

Attendees at Fakuma 2023 can find more information on all the materials listed above by visiting Avient’s booth 5316 in Hall B5 from October 17 – IBEX 2023: Avient Featuring Innovative Materials for Boatbuilders, Offering Lightweighting and Production Efficiency
