The OEM had several years of experience working with Avient Smartbatch™  – a combination of color and performance-enhancing additives in a single pellet. After reviewing the requirements, the two teams worked to customize a color and additive concentrate using carbon fiber to produce the desired visual effect that would make the interior pillars and headliner look like they were covered in fabric. Improved quality and reduced waste: It eliminated uneven quality and high scrap rates that were inherent to working with fabric-covered parts.

AVIENT SOLUTION LIGHTWEIGHTING + CYCLE TIME LEARN MORE • Achieved average weight reduction across molds of 7.75% • Achieved cycle time reduction of 15-20% • Provided key support with equipment and processing • Reduced energy consumption • Projected savings of $500,000 annually KEY REQUIREMENTS • Lightweighting • Cycle time improvement • Processing support to enable a seamless transition to begin using foam Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Long product life to withstand billions of cycles Tested to over 1.5 million cycles, our springs are strong, flexible, and capable of deep deflection.

Solutions to help reduce carbon footprint by lightweighting using recycled materials in injection molded and extruded applications for automotive and consumer goods industries, such as Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents developed to reduce material consumption, part weight, and cycle times while maintaining excellent surface finish and eliminating sink marks, and can also serve as nucleating additives in direct gassing foam extrusion processes  Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants: based on polysulfone and PEEK resins with the capability of withstanding up to 1,000 autoclave cycles and high-heat sterilization at 150°C, these colorants are formulated with ingredient materials that have been successfully tested for ISO 10993 biocompatibility and are available in a line of bright and vivid transparent or opaque shades

Improves mold release resulting in reduced thread pulls or blow line jams while supporting faster cycle times and production rates. We’ll work with you to address your challenges and help you in driving the circular economy, boosting recyclability and meeting your sustainability goals. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

A redesigned part reduced cycle time and cost, and enhanced performance.

As PET undergoes multiple remelting cycles, it can break down, suffering from thermal degradation, and resulting in a material of lower quality than its virgin counterpart.
