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.

Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFTs) provide alternatives to and benefits over traditional materials used in aftermarket parts, offering designers fresh options with high strength, low density, resistance to moisture absorption, excellent design freedom, and the ability to eliminate secondary processing.  High design freedom through injection molding Catheter Materials & Medical Tubing

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.
