Elausa approached Avient looking for an aluminum replacement for heat sinks in vehicle fog and rear lights. Switching materials from a metal to a polymer carries large and potentially costly risks in terms of both performance and production, so Avient Design was consulted to help alleviate these concerns. Equipped with the necessary simulation software and a broad database of Avient’s Specialty Engineered Materials, Avient Design is able to evaluate a part’s performance in a given Avient thermoplastic.
