Avient宣布添加了三个专有的热塑性弹性体(TPE)配方,这些配方在其GLS™TPE投资组合中含有抗菌添加剂。根据JIS Z2801和ASTM G21-15标准测试,这些添加剂通过抑制细菌生长(99.9%或更高)并抵抗真菌和霉菌生长,以保护模制塑料零件。
In addition to potentially causing odor issues, these microrganisms can cause detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to a finished plastic part. High-touch surfaces and applications are especially vulnerable. Potential applications include consumer electronics, personal care item grips, and automotive applications such as cup holder mats and HVAC seals.
GLS TPEs with antimicrobial additives can help extend a product’s useful life, which results in a reduced need to replace it. Additional benefits include preserved surface integrity, increased durability, and minimized odors for a better consumer experience.
Tested against common microbes, GLS TPEs with antimicrobial additives are proven to protect finished parts from microbial growth on both textured and smooth surfaces. They are formulated with an EPA-registered antimicrobial from a trusted leader in microbial control solutions, Lonza LLC. This additive chemistry is the same one that has been used for decades in personal care products such as anti-dandruff shampoo.
