Unlike metal, thermoplastics can also be molded into complex shapes that fit tight spaces. With thermoplastic parts, there is rarely a need for secondary processing steps such as coating, welding, drilling or painting.

But because ADAS housing applications are typically convection limited, custom formulated thermoplastics can do the job of dissipating heat exceptionally well. Damage from static electricity – Your electronics need protection from static buildup – specialty thermoplastics can be formulated to do a better job of dissipating unwanted static and therefore minimize the potential for damage to nearby electrical components. No need to face the extra processing times or costs that go into painting or vacuum metallization required with traditional polymer formulations.

Smartbatch™ FX for Paint Replacement Thermoplastic Elastomers Dynaflex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers

Smartbatch™ FX for Paint Replacement Paint adds a great surface finish to automobile parts, but painting also adds cost, time, and other logistics requirements. Avient collaborated with a leading global automotive OEM and its injection molder to eliminate paint from a new vehicle’s interior.

Designers conceptualized a new, larger version of the Soldier’s model, including 10 tools, a lock blade that can be opened with one hand and, importantly, a non-slip handle manufactured from a combination of hard and soft thermoplastics. Avient material scientists found the perfect combination with a custom rigid nylon formulation for the handle paired with a soft GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) in the grip areas. Beyond finding the best material combination—Bergamid™ nylon copolymer and GLS™ TPEs—our global presence and expertise across an array of specialty polymers and colorants, combined with local service and support, helped Victorinox to accelerate development work, streamline production and reach their design goals.
