Cycle time reducers can increase your production capacity without any additional equipment investment

This can help tighten up cycle times and improve the mechanical and aesthetic properties of the finished product.

Combine a PlastOne™ concentrate with your OnColor™ Smartbatch™ solution to reduce cycle times

Reduces cycle time

Hydrocerol improved productivity up to 20% due to lower cycle times and processability on different injection molding units.

THE SOLUTION With its global footprint, Avient was able to work with DENSO both in initial trials in Japan as well as locally at a manufacturing facility in Europe. The technical services team at Avient worked closely with the European material engineering team at DENSO under the lead of Mr. Avient engineered a new customized formulation for the part, which provided both the processability required for extremely short cycle injection-compression molding, as well as including an additive to stabilize the material when in contact with copper.

Product Stewardship activities encompassing a life cycle approach, ensure sustainable management of our products and an open dialogue with all interested parties. In addition to identifying risk-reduction opportunities, we require each associate—as a condition of employment—to work safely and make safe decisions at all times. As a member of the American Chemistry Council, we have adopted Responsible Care® Guiding Principles and the Product Safety Code of Management Practices to guide our efforts in material sourcing, development and management of our product portfolio throughout the value chain and life cycle.

With an average score of 75% across all statements of the Great Place to Work Trust Model, our employees’ experience is significantly above the average for all companies (56%). Our employees’ feedback showcases how these values are embedded in our everyday interactions and define us as a Great Place to Work. By fostering open communication, building trust, and taking meaningful action, we will advance our cultural journey to become an even better place to work for our talented global workforce.

MAJOR TIER 1 SUPPLIER C O N N E C T O R C O V E R • EMI-shielding performance at frequencies from 30 MHz up to 2 GHz • Excellent dimensional stability • Must meet robust mechanical property targets including tensile strength and elongation at break • Worked in close collaboration with the OEM from the start of the development process in order to fully understand their key requirements • Developed a customized material providing the required EMI-shielding performance which, removing the need for secondary metallization manufacturing processes, reduced cycle time Surround™ NN- 14 NICF SIP Black Formulation KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

Prior to development of this method, the discs were failing at 40,000 to 80,000 cycles. With the new method, the discs’ ability to withstand failure during cycle testing was improved by a factor of 400, far exceeding the requirement of 180,000 cycles. Kuras said, “Working with PDI’s PhD scientists gives us access to an exceptional knowledge of polymers.
