Engineered Polymer Services There is generally limited differentiation in aesthetic appeal when looking at a pre-colored biopolymer or one that is colored at the press. Lightweighting is a concept of engineering materials to require less parts or manufacturing without compromising the durability of the final product.

Lightweighting is a concept of engineering materials to require less parts or manufacturing without compromising the durability of the final product. 

One approach is to substitute metals with reinforced thermoplastics. This design flexibility also enables engineers to reassess assemblies and take advantage of consolidating multiple parts into one molded offering. https://www.avient.com/submit-a-design-engineering-question

However, compared with engineered thermoplastics, these materials have a relatively high density, are more complicated and energy intense to process, and may suffer from corrosion. Equipped with the necessary simulation software and a broad database of Avient’s Specialty Engineered Materials, Avient Design is able to evaluate a part’s performance in a given Avient thermoplastic. They also provided mold fill evaluations to evaluate the best injection parameter set up to process Therma-Tech in the respective mold.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly flame retardant: Flame retardancy helps prevent fire and to limit damage if one starts • Non-halogenated: During a fire, there are no ingredients to cause acidic gas emissions from the polymer, which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke: In the event of fire, people are more able to find the escape exit and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity: People are not likely to be overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping: No flaming droplets are likely to propagate a fire or injure evacuees • Manufacturing efficiency: Easy processing with a smooth surface finish MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH range of specialty polymers help manufacturers meet CPR requirements for power, control and communication cables (including optical fiber cables) used in buildings.
