HVAC doors are typically produced by injection molding two parts that provide structural strength and air sealing performance. 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. In addition, the new material also provides anti-static properties and low VOC levels, which helps the system adhere to regulations such as the Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standard.

The fiberglass material, which is less stiff than carbon, proved to provide greater comfort and gave the energy return they were looking for. The neoprene layer provides comfort and space for the unidirectional laminate to deflect downward as the runner’s foot strikes the running surface. They fit comfortably in most athletic shoes, including racing spikes, with the glass fiber properties providing comfort and performance benefits to the user.

Developed in response to the increased need for sustainable material alternatives, reSound™ REC TPEs provide comparable performance to traditional fossil-based grades, and support goals for reduced waste and carbon emissions. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • 35–45% PCR/PIR content • Meet automotive standards for VOC, FOG, and odor • Colored black, additional colors are possible • Customizable formulations • Overmoldable to PP MARKETS & APPLICATIONS The reSound REC 7310 series provides a more sustainable TPE choice for automotive interior components and delivers comparable performance to their traditional counterparts.
