ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat™ RHC ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat™ RHC is a formulated liquid bottle-blowing process aid.

Tailored to customer design and performance specifications, panels are engineered with custom formulated resins, structural core materials, and fibers to achieve specific stiffness, strength, weight, performance and cost targets.

AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS EMI/RFI SHIELDING & STATIC DISSIPATIVE FORMULATIONS FOR ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), comprised of sensitive electronics such as sensors, cameras and electronic control units (ECUs), require high-performance materials to protect them from static buildup, EMI/RFI interference and other issues.

This pure metal replacement solution can be customized to meet specific density requirements, formulated to meet a broad modulus range, and engineered to meet complex design specifications.

The oxygen scavenger formulations are added to the PET melt using conventional pellet handling systems.

Avient has formulated a new material that offers blue jean stain resistance similar to that of silicone*, yet with all the benefits of using a TPE: increased design freedom, an efficient supply chain leading to faster speed to market, and lower total part costs.

Avient’s Versaflex™ CE non-blooming TPEs are specifically formulated to overcome the challenge of surface blooms when overmolding consumer electronics.

Next, the materials team formulated a grade that would offer enough heat resistance to be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying rigid material.
