Weight Reduction: One of the primary advantages of using polymers in EV batteries is the significant weight reduction. This weight reduction can directly impact the overall performance of electric vehicles, enhancing their acceleration, range, and energy efficiency.   Furthermore, the lighter weight of polymer-based batteries contributes to improved energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions during vehicle operation. 

Polymers can improve heat management, reduce weight, and expand design freedom Additional weight, manufacturing challenges and ultimately, higher costs. Replacing aluminum heat sinks with polymer ones can greatly reduce both the total cost and weight of a part.

Fiber-reinforced composites add impact resistance and remove weight Filled and reinforced composite materials offer lighter weight, equal strength options versus metal These advanced polymers offer a high stiffness-to-weight ratio and can replace dense metals that add vehicle weight

The composite pellet is manufactured through pultruding continuous fiber filaments that are melt permeated with polymer in an impregnation die, creating a product with 20% to 60%, by weight, fiber content that is 12mm in length.     They are frequently used to replace metal for applications in which light weighting, improved impact strength, elastic modulus, and material strength are required.   Provides structural performance that can go head-to-head with metals at a fraction of the weight.

Reducing vehicle weight improves efficiency, extends range and enables increased payload. Polystrand™ R continuous fiber thermoplastic composites enables lighter weight reinforcement with recycled PET 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.
