Using less of a higher performing material is not only a tactic to reduce weight but can also lower overall material costs, especially when fiber reinforcement is used to up-engineer the structural properties of a lower cost polymer or as a price diluent in higher cost engineering resins.   Lower System Cost When all the costs of producing a component are accounted for, using a material that is easier to work with can result in lower overall costs even if it is more expensive on a per pound or kilogram basis.

They use no heavy metal or restricted ingredients, color and material changeover time can be reduced, and meet the growing market need for a cost-effective solution. Better cost effectiveness with lower dosage Specialty toner for PC materials for premium surface finish, color consistency and better cost effectiveness

Cycle time improvement, reduced maintenance costs, color standardization mark success Cost reduction related to downtime and maintenance for the material conveyor line Overall, cost performance for the new material was 40 percent better than for other competitive materials – a level of value the supplier didn’t anticipate when merely seeking another source for a commodity raw material.

Additional weight, manufacturing challenges and ultimately, higher costs. Its thermally conductive properties allow for effective heat management, but material and production costs can be high. Replacing aluminum heat sinks with polymer ones can greatly reduce both the total cost and weight of a part.

Adding this technology to bottle preforms enables improved recyclability and reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared with reheat-free PET resin for substantial production cost savings.  We can now work with PET manufacturers in China to help them improve sustainability, combat rising energy costs, and achieve greater market success.”     To calculate cost and energy savings when using Joule RHB in specific applications, download the ColorMatrix Energy and CO2 Calculator App.
