A leading supplier of advanced automotive technologies approached Avient to create a new olefinic material for an HVAC damper.
However, in this case, designers wanted to reduce the thickness of the part wall significantly to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent.
Designers were able to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent without compromising performance.

When PolyCase Ammunition was getting ready to produce its new line of high performance ammunition, the project team knew they needed a material that would be easily enable them to produce their patent-pending, injection molded projectile designs that function as well or better than conventional lead-core projectiles.
The designs were unique.
After experimenting with competitive materials, PolyCase approached Avient with their challenge.

But when the designers for a well-known manufacturer planned their next generation product, they knew that to capture more market share they needed to make the totes stronger.
It also needed to have high clarity, which created a significant problem: existing materials provided clarity, but not the necessary stiffness.
The design team reached out to long-term supplier Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers to help develop a customized solution.
