Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced aluminum to provide better fatigue resistance and reduce weight Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced metal steering column supports and lowered weight by 50% Custom GLS™ Thermoplastic Elastomer replaced thermoset rubber for tourniquet band

Avient’s transportation portfolio includes sustainable technologies that offer lightweight structural alternatives to metals, while delivering comparable or improved performance; reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions to improve interior air quality; specialty colors & effects enable paint replacement technologies. Paint replacement technologies, including Artisan™ ABS portfolio and Molded-In Color Metallic The Solution & Impact By utilizing a combination of Avient’s OnColor™ Colorants, Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents, and Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants & Additives, we enabled the OEM to reduce weight and carbon emissions in panel doors, increase UV resistance in instrument panels and replace traditional paint processes in central consoles. 

Many original equipment manufacturers and plastic injection molding companies in the packaging industry are prioritizing the replacement of ABS. While polypropylene (PP) is widely accepted in the packaging industry, it has higher shrinkage rates than ABS, making it challenging to use as a direct replacement for existing molds.   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint
