After fully understanding all of the requirements, Avient’s technology team began to formulate an easy- to-mold, durable and aesthetically pleasing specialty polymer that provided processing flexibility and wouldn’t require retooling. The results showed the Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient also used its custom color matching capabilities to provide pre-colored material that simplified molding, while the material’s wide processing window helped accommodate a variety of molding environments. * V0 @ 1.5 and 3.0mm FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) TENSILE STRENGTH RETENTION AFTER 7 DAYS EXPOSURE Both materials were tested according to ASTM D543 for 7 days.

And, because they are formed by injection molding, long fiber reinforced thermoplastics can be easily customized to specific design requirements. Our designs have to be slightly distorted when molded so that in use, when the blade is experiencing propulsion forces, it has the proper shape to maximize thrust.” Injection molding with long fiber composites makes it easy to add feature details like our Hydrobites that would be difficult and expensive to produce in metal,” said Stahl.

GLS™ TPEs with Antimicrobial Technologies This specialty line of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers has imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more (log 3) and resist fungal growth to protect molded plastic parts. Developed for the preservation of high-touch surfaces and applications, these formulations contain antimicrobial additives that continuously inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungus, and molds that cause odor and detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to the finished plastic part. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Protects finished part by inhibiting microbial and fungi growth • Extends useful life of finished TPE parts by controlling deterioration caused by mildew or mold fungus • Increases product durability, preserves surface integrity, and minimizes odors MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Suitable for high-touch surfaces and applications, GLS TPEs with antimicrobial technologies add value in the consumer, packaging and automotive markets.
