The best way to determine if thermoplastic elastomers are right for your use case is to discuss your needs with an application development expert. In more complex cases, the application development expert will relay your needs to material scientists, who create a specific formula and blend of materials to generate the properties you need. In fact, our mission is to solve the world’s most complex material science problems, and we’re here to support you all the way from research and development through production.

Additives to preserve clarity and retain opacity developed for dental care products using WithStand™ Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals Sync design with manufacturability: Learn about how Avient Design can help simplify your new product development process

When developing a more flexible prosthetic foot for low- activity amputees, WillowWood approached the Avient advanced composites group for help improving the experience of end-users. WillowWood sought to develop a more flexible foot that would help low-activity amputees improve their mobility and comfort while still meeting the K2 classification.

THE SOLUTION Avient proactively worked with Piranha to develop the next generation propeller. THE IMPACT The main objective of this development work was to provide an alternative to one-piece solid aluminum and stainless-steel props while enabling similar performance.

THE SOLUTION Avient worked with Elausa to develop a thermoplastic solution to suit their requirements and Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations were chosen as a potential fit. An award-winning group of highly experienced industrial designers, design engineers and prototyping technicians, Avient Design helps customers with all aspects of new product development, from concept to production.
