A fresh look at material options helps align key properties with optimal performance for today’s vehicles. Known for offering tight seals and reducing vibration and noise, certain thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), like OnFlex™ grades, may be better suited for your particular application than the historically incumbent materials, like general purpose TPEs, thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV), and thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO). Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

CASE STUDY: CONTINUOUS FILAMENT WINDING TECHNOLOGY CARBONERRO™ IMPROVES STAND UP PADDLE EXPERIENCE FOR MID-LEVEL RIDERS WITH OPTIMIZED MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES To learn more, please contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) or visit www.avient.com Recognized for putting the user experience first, Carbonerro first approached Avient with the need for a paddle shaft that would float, rather than sink, and use composites rather than aluminum to provide an improved experience for intermediate riders. And Carbonerro also needed to keep costs down to produce a more economical solution for the non-professional enthusiast.

On the other hand, in the supplier’s experience, molded vinyl door panels were unable to recreate details such as stitching or a dry touch that can make leather door panels more attractive. The supplier found that the vinyl powders it was using clumped in the corners of the mold during processing rather than filling the mold, causing air entrapment and generating unacceptable amounts of scrap. THE SOLUTION The supplier’s design team approached Avient in hopes of finding an alternative material that could replace leather yet eliminate processing issues.

The company approached Avient with the question: how can we continue to meet premium brand owners’ needs while improving our own profitability? THE IMPACT The closure producer’s team switched to Gravi-Tech material, and immediately logged a 35% cost savings due to lower material and processing costs. To learn more about Gravi-Tech™ solutions, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) or visit www.avient.com.

When Avient proposed re-engineering the yoke with an alternative composite material, Bettcher was receptive, but needed evidence that a polymer solution would retain the reliable performance its customers demanded. We are grateful for Avient’s proactive approach,” added Hall.

GHS generally requires more information on the hazards of chemicals to be included on an SDS, and requires it in a different format, so GHS SDSs are generally longer than before. Sincerely, PolyOne Corporation Brian E.
