New metal replacement solutions and thermoplastic elastomers for sealing applications help manufacturers effectively and economically increase fuel efficiency, reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and improve manufacturing efficiencies. With our formulation expertise, we can help customers to optimize their manufacturing processes, increase consumer appeal, and meet increasingly strict regulations regarding carbon dioxide emissions and fuel efficiency,” said Kendall Justiniano, PolyOne director of global automotive marketing.

Traditionally, many connectors of this type are produced using liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) formulated with carbon fiber.    Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector.

Carbon/Graphite Fiber   The conductive nature of the carbon fibers means these formulations can add conductivity and static dissipation performance.

Reduce Carbon Footprint They are formulated with bio-based polymers and pre-tested raw materials to help reduce carbon footprint and mitigate the risk of non-compliance during regulatory submission.

Conventional bath dyeing requires substantial amounts of water and energy, resulting in wastewater, chemical disposal, and carbon emissions. are experienced and well-positioned in this technology, which represents a sustainable alternative to the way that fabrics are made, one that promises to conserve water and energy while reducing carbon emissions and chemical waste," said

These custom-engineered products are available with a wide variety of core materials, including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered woods and laminate face-sheets with continuous fiberglass and/or carbon fiber reinforced polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy or custom resins. Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

Aimed at delivering environmental benefits such as a reduced carbon footprint and lower energy consumption, these materials are formulated to perform while meeting the growing demands of environmentally conscious consumers. Reduced carbon footprint

Using the new bio-based Mevopur polymer solutions instead of conventional materials,” says Volker Dickfeld, senior marketing manager, healthcare global, “can help manufacturers of pharmaceutical packaging, medical devices and related products reduce their carbon footprint. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Formulations are available globally in a standard black color at typical weight percentages of long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid combinations.
