Charging stations can be protected from harsh outdoor environments and daily wear-and-tear by using various solutions, including UV protection, chemical resistance, scratch and mar resistance, or impact modification. These types of additives can help the polymer surface withstand extreme temperatures, wind, sunlight, exposure to chemical cleaning products, or surface damage from excessive handling. Chemical foaming agents are successfully used in plastics to cut weight from parts without compromising mechanical properties.

Recycling Materials into New Composites: Repurposing manufacturing waste to create new composites prevents it from going into landfills. For instance, Avient engineers successfully used 100% PCR PET in composite unidirectional tapes and laminates, and PCR nylon 6 from reclaimed fishing nets in a LFT composite. From manufacturers and engineers to end-users, everyone has a role to play in achieving sustainability goals, and everyone must benefit to be truly sustainable.

At the time, the boot was injection molded from acrylonitrile-ethylene-styrene (AES) as a standalone part and assembled to the housing separately. However, before making a change involving investment in new tooling and processing expertise, the company wanted to be confident that the solution would make sense from an economic perspective.  Avient gathered detailed data from this customer’s production facility in Mexico and helped them calculate and compare the costs of the two solutions.
