Trabajando de cerca con el productor, el equipo de Avient recomendó personalizar una fórmula de material de alta densidad como alternativa al metal. Moldear la tapa por el proceso de inyección con este material llamado Gravi-Tech™, proporciona la apariencia, la sensación y el peso del metal y mantiene una percepción premium. El cambio de moldeado de metal a moldeado por inyección también permitiría el ahorro en el costo de procesamiento y un aumento en la libertad de diseño.

Provides integrated EMI/RFI shielding on par with metals Provides structural performance that can go head-to-head with metals at a fraction of the weight The design and lightweighting benefits of thermoplastics with the conductive performance of metal

Making the Switch from Metal to Plastic Using Long Fiber Thermoplastics Historically, metal has been used to manufacture parts such as running boards, side steps, bed extenders, and mounting kits (levers, brackets). Facilitated lightweighting with a 50% long glass fiber PA66 thermoplastic that matched the performance of the incumbent metal part

Shift from metal drives improved product line for component manufacturer As an injection molding contractor with expertise in lighting components, Kruunutekniikka knew it could provide improved manufacturability and performance in LED lighting by producing non-metal heat sinks at scale. Avient engineered materials that combined the heat transfer and cooling capabilities of metals with the design freedom, weight reduction and cost advantages of conventional thermoplastics.

Polymers have a considerably lower density than metal, allowing for lighter and more energy-efficient batteries. Polymers can be processed at a lower cost than metals, reducing overall material expenses. Using engineered polymers in electric vehicle batteries presents numerous advantages over traditional metal-based materials.
