Our latest developments include pre-colored polymer solutions for well plates used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, a growing field leveraging molecular biology to provide a swift diagnosis of various infectious diseases.

While rigid polymers are typically used for this because of their conductive and wireless properties, Avient has found additional value in low signal loss technology within its thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio. Using the test method reference from ASTM D2520 Part C, we generated repeatable data on the samples of four select formulations at the same four thicknesses, recording the average and median values for both dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df).   Download this white paper below to learn which TPEs were chosen, the methodology used, and the test results.

OnColor™ HC Colorants used to streamline color development and production of dental floss containers OnFlex-S™ used for overmolding handgrips onto ABS resin Overmolded Resilient TPE used to enhance vibration damping in the boot of a power saw

Developing application-specific formulations requires experience plus a holistic understanding of the demands of end-use industries, plastics processing, and polymer science. We use this expertise to recommend an optimal combination of base material, reinforcing fibers, fillers, additives, color and part design to meet your exact performance requirements.   Low noise dispersion (LND) coating for PTFE & FEP used to top coat low-noise coaxial cables with dielectric cores

Using these process aids can result in greater production efficiencies with faster extrusion line speeds and molding cycle times. Improves line speeds and cycle times, leading to reduced energy use during processing Colorant Chromatics™ PVDF Processing Aid boosted overall production efficiency by minimizing die build-up through use of a PVDF-specific processing aid

This customer used Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) tapes and laminates in the trailer space of their heavy truck applications. Using Polystrand materials extended the life of truck trailers and reduced weight to improve fuel economy.
