These metals are strong, durable, and familiar in applications across the consumer powersports, automotive aftermarket, aerospace, and heavy truck industries. However, metals also have known limitations that impact cost, processing, and design. Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) combine the structural integrity of metals with the lighter weight and cost-effectiveness of thermoplastic composites.

These concentrates contain a very high pigment load, allowing low addition rates (one percent or lower) and reduce color variation from one resin type to another.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent lot-to-lot and within-lot consistency for high-quality homogeneous black shades • Easy processing and support of a long-lasting spin pack lifetime • Fastness properties and specification tolerances on par with high-end products on the market • Standard and bluish undertones available in high pigment loadings for an efficient and competitive coloration package • Can be combined with additives into a single combination concentrate for convenience • Compliance with global, regional, and local standards and regulations* RECOMMENDED USE • In most cases, the concentrate is added directly to the resin using gravimetric or volumetric dosing units; for some processes, the concentrate can be added via a side stream extruder (direct spinning) • The recommended dosages are from 3% for the typical automotive, technical, and carpet applications and up to 6% for apparel, footwear, and home textile yarns * Contact your local sales representative for more information on regulatory compliance PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

Customized with high quality pigments and select fiber reinforcements, fillers and additives, these solutions are designed to meet the performance your application requires.

One approach is to substitute metals with reinforced thermoplastics. PROCESSING METHODOLOGIES EXPLAINED Die Casting - Metals Die casting is a type of metal casting process that injects molten metal into a mold cavity under high pressure. However, this can depend on a number of factors such as metal type, part complexity, and maintenance.

Therma-Tech formulations offer similar heat transfer, dissipation, and cooling capabilities to metals, when heat is transmitted into air. This combined with the design freedom, weight reduction, and cost advantages of thermoplastics, opens up the possibility to use them for metal replacement. Switching materials from a metal to a polymer carries large and potentially costly risks in terms of both performance and production, so Avient Design was consulted to help alleviate these concerns.

When a metal propeller blade strikes a submersed obstacle with severe impact forces, it can permanently bend or break. The innovative blade design of Piranha’s Hydrothrust propeller provides 400% more reverse thrust than standard propellers and twice as much as competing metal props. Injection molding with long fiber composites makes it easy to add feature details like our Hydrobites that would be difficult and expensive to produce in metal,” said Stahl.

The concentrates provide high glossiness and metallic effects and can be customized to offer scratch resistance, anti-dust adhesion, UV resistance, and more. Our Avient Design engineering experts can support as well with the computer aided simulation of molded-in-color metallic parts to minimize surface defects. Applications: • Automotive interior trim and exterior trim components • Appliances, electronics and electrical housings • Personal care and cosmetic packaging • Painted or plated consumer products Benefits: • Efficiently replaces paint and plating for various applications • Reduces number of processing steps and complexity • Provides high glossiness and metallic effects for high-quality paint look • Can be customized to include scratch, dust, and UV resistance
