And as an automotive designer, you want each and every one of your vehicles to give drivers and passengers a riding experience just short of nirvana. Here are the some of the top automotive applications that can benefit from making the switch: 

OnFlex™ LO Low VOC / FOG & Odor TPEs: Engineered thermoplastic elastomers that help meet Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standards for automotive interior components including HVAC flaps, interior trays and fasteners and clips PHOTO CAPTION: A new nature-inspired color collection and low-odor automotive interior materials await visitors to the PolyOne stand at Fakuma 2018.

PRODUCT BULLETIN reSound™ REC Recycled Content TPEs Sustainable TPEs for automotive interiors The demands for improved sustainability continue to drive innovation and change across the transportation industry. The reSound REC 7310 series is specifically formulated for automotive interior applications, meeting standards established by automotive OEMs for VOC (VDA 278), FOG (VDA 278), and odor (VDA 270). 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.

OnFlex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers Solutions for Automotive Applications To keep up with industry demands, regulatory challenges and end-user preferences, it’s imperative to consider the influence of material specifications at the beginning of the product development cycle. Across HVAC, interior and external automotive applications, your products need to meet VIAQ regulations, appeal to consumers through look and feel, and enable long-lasting performance.

Move Over Metal Composites for Lightweighting, Reinforcing, and Replacing Metal in Automotive Applications APPLICATION BULLETIN Composites offer higher strength-to-weight ratios exceeding the structural performance of traditional materials while significantly reducing weight—up to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter than aluminum. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Superior strength-to-weight ratio • Exceptional mechanical performance— consistent and repeatable • Deep deflection • Corrosion resistance • High fatigue resistance & tensile strength • Excellent interlaminar shear strength • Lighter weight than steel • High modulus of elasticity • High temperature performance • Low VOCs VALUE SOLUTION • Ideal in applications where high stiffness and light weight performance are critical • Replacement of metal, wood, and other less efficient materials in order to improve overall product performance while reducing weight, cost, and complexity • Simplified assembly • A good choice for constant cross-section profiles • Laminates available in continuous lengths • Specialty surface treatments available to improve bonding • Full machining capabilities (surface modification, drilling, shaping, waterjet, etc.) • Custom sizes, profiles, tooling design, and prototyping available for specific applications • Hollow profiles USES & APPLICATIONS • Hybrid body in white components • Structural mounting • Stress contoured leaf (elliptical, semi-elliptical, and cantilever) suspension springs For more information on our composite solutions for the automotive industry, please visit www.avient.com/composites or call 1-844-4AVIENT.
