N95 masks, for example, rely on multi-layer construction, with a middle layer made from melt-blown non-woven material. Avient helped one customer improve their protective masks to better satisfy global demands. By introducing additives with charge storage properties, “charge traps” were created to capture the electret charge being applied to melt-blown non-woven material.

The composite material is 25% the weight of comparable steel structures and also weights significantly less than concrete, making them easily deployable in the field.   The MPS incorporates Avient’s custom-formulated GlasArmor ballistic panels that meet Level 3 protection under Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 standards for ballistic resistance. With our hardware fabrication capabilities and Avient’s knowledge of composite ballistic protection technology, we were able to create modular systems that reduce time and logistic requirements for our brave soldiers.”

Home // Protecting Polymers from Microbe Growth As such, there’s a trend to reduce microbial populations on high-touch surfaces via the use of antimicrobials to protect material aesthetics and durability or to prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms. 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.
