Avient also soak-tested its performance against other chemicals including 10% hydrochloric acid, 10% calcium chloride, antifreeze, 10% ammonium hydroxide, 12% sodium hypochlorite (bleach), and ethanol. In each case, the physical property retention of Avient’s PK-based formulations was superior to that of PA6 or PA66. However, Avient has overcome this challenge and achieved vibrant colors like any other resin.

Avient’s Cesa™ Fiber Tracer Concentrates Like all Avient’s fiber concentrates (a.k.a. masterbatches), they are typically incorporated into the fibers using spin-dying technology during yarn manufacturing.

As an ink manufacturer, Avient develops inks based on “performance factors.”

Avient’s Onflex™ Lo TPE and Maxxam™ engineered material formulations are used for interior HVAC air flaps, trays, console carrier and instrument panels, and related interior parts.

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.
