CLEVELAND – November 10, 2020 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, today introduced its newest sustainable material family: Artisan™ thermoplastics. Replacing painted metal parts with Artisan materials also improves corrosion resistance. Design engineers for demanding outdoor applications can now achieve vibrant colors, excellent aesthetics, weathering resistance, and improved sustainability without the use of paint.”

Plus, designers planned to add a proprietary, integrated self-sharpening whetstone into each sheath. Designers selected a custom grade of Bergamid™ high performance polymer from PolyOne for the sheath. The company’s founders are passionate about innovative design, quality materials, and outdoor sports; one of them, Philippe Héberlé, won an Olympic gold medal for shooting at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.

And because these materials are injection moldable, you have more freedom to design smaller, more compact housings that fit more electronics without sacrificing performance. What are the key characteristics to consider when choosing a material for ADAS housings? Overheating – Oftentimes, designers choose aluminum for its excellent thermal conductivity properties.

Available in a limitless range of vibrant colors, this technology enables packaging manufacturers to create unlimited combinations of color and gloss to design a brilliant metallic look that demands attention. Cosmetic bottle packaging compatible with sustainable packing material to enable use in rPET technology. How can you make the most of color, from design through processing?

Incorporating specialized materials into grips, handles, buttons, plungers, caps and closures can help reduce forceful exertion, repetitive motion, contact stress and vibration. For soft orthotics, TPEs can form the entire orthotic part, be overmolded on top of a rigid sub-layer to give selective comfort and control or encase a viscous liquid material. For example, the Lobie™ earbud accessory from Acousticlobe features soft, lightweight TPE material, and is designed to position earbuds next to the ear so users avoid the discomfort of inserting them into the ear canal.

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR) are now the materials of choice by product designers across countless industries and applications.  Design Ultimately, choosing the right material for your application is a balance between sustainability goals, design requirements, end-to-end product costs, and performance targets.
