The manufacturer was working with Avient on other projects, so it brought together experts from both companies to work on identifying a material that would reduce warpage and improve productivity. Working together, they identified an alternative material that met the performance requirements of the product but did not require blending. Increased productivity: The new material allowed the manufacturer to more than double output via tooling and cycle time improvements.
