May 10, 2021-Avient today announced the addition of three proprietary thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) formulations containing antimicrobial additives to its GLS® thermoplastic elastomer product portfolio
.
According to tests conducted according to JIS Z2801 and ASTM G21-15 standards, these additives protect molded plastic parts by inhibiting the growth of bacteria (over 99.
9%) and resisting the growth of fungi and mold
.
? "? In addition to causing odor problems, these microorganisms may also cause harmful changes in the mechanical properties of the finished plastic parts and become unsightly
.
High-contact surfaces and applications are particularly susceptible
.
In response, Avient has developed antimicrobial additives.
GLS TPE, available as Versaflex? and OnFlex? grades
.
Potential applications include consumer electronics, personal care product grips, and automotive applications, such as cup holder mats and HVAC sealing
.

.
Other benefits include maintaining the integrity of the surface, improving durability, and minimizing odors for a better consumer experience
.
? Global Marketing Director, Avient Specialty Engineering Materials Matt Mitchell said: "It is now possible to design products with TPE that can prolong the service life by inhibiting microbial growth
.
These new formulas also have similar properties to our GLS brand TPE
.
? After testing for common microorganisms, GLS TPE containing antibacterial additives has been proven to protect the finished parts from the growth of microorganisms on the texture and smooth surface
.
Their formulations contain EPA-registered antibacterial agents provided by Lonza LLC
.
Lonza LLC is a trusted leader in the field of microbial control solutions
