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. ZPT proved to be very effective in protecting TPEs, reducing common bacteria populations by 99.9% or more in JIS Z2801 testing, and inhibiting fungal growth (rating = 0) according to the ASTM G21 standard.

Traditional materials often require multiple fireproofing layers to comply with codes like ASTM E84 or NFPA 286, which increase project costs and complicate installation. The results were immediate: • Approximately 20% savings on material and labor costs • Lightweight, large-format panels fast-tracked installation, shaving about 30% off the project timeline • With flame resistant chemistry integrated into the panel, the materials met ASTM E84 Class A and passed NFPA 286 room burn standards without added complexity While exact numbers remain confidential, the builder also reported notable reductions in both material waste and overall project costs.

The ASTM D2520 standard is split into three parts: Part A for shorted transmission line method, Part B for waveguide cavities, and Part C for general examination. 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).
