In addition to color uniformity, engineers also wanted a balance of stiffness, impact resistance and heat resistance. Liking what they heard, the engineers decided to team up with Avient specialists in polymer distribution, colorants and additives to tackle the issue. In addition, the natural-plus-additive concentrate package:

Guided by their initiative to develop capabilities that provide additional protection for soldiers while reducing time and logistic requirements,¹ the U.S. It’s portable enough to be airlifted into remote sites and provides quick protection for troops with no additional equipment support needed.  These panels successfully encapsulate the bullet, preventing harmful ricochets and providing additional safety to the warfighter.

Additional weight, manufacturing challenges and ultimately, higher costs. In addition, the size required for an efficient metal heat sink may create design challenges that adversely affect nearby electronic components. And remember that polymers can offer a way to achieve lighter weight and improved design capabilities in addition to managing heat.

In addition, the design included more traditional features, such as four small support feet on the underside of the mouse for low-friction, easy-glide operation. Together, the manufacturer and Avient settled on a final formulation that could utilize existing tooling, thereby avoiding additional costs. In addition, the profit margin on this product was about 30% higher than that of other models.
