Avient has a broad portfolio of sustainable solutions that can help customers meet their innovation and sustainable goals through material science. Specially developed automotive TPE polymers can keep those small spaces fresh Consider engineered polymers and advanced composites.

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.

Avient PlastiComp Complēt™ & OnForce™ long fiber composite pellets are manufactured using a pultrusion process.  Instead of simply coating fiber tows with polymer – inside PlastiComp’s impregnation die individual filaments in the fiber tows are spread apart so each is encapsulated with thermoplastic polymer.  This fiber to polymer bond is key to obtaining optimum performance and having a true composite material.
