Shift from metal drives improved product line for component manufacturer As an injection molding contractor with expertise in lighting components, Kruunutekniikka knew it could provide improved manufacturability and performance in LED lighting by producing non-metal heat sinks at scale. Avient engineered materials that combined the heat transfer and cooling capabilities of metals with the design freedom, weight reduction and cost advantages of conventional thermoplastics.

Polymers have a considerably lower density than metal, allowing for lighter and more energy-efficient batteries. Polymers can be processed at a lower cost than metals, reducing overall material expenses. Using engineered polymers in electric vehicle batteries presents numerous advantages over traditional metal-based materials.

Making the Switch from Metal to Plastic Using Long Fiber Thermoplastics Historically, metal has been used to manufacture parts such as running boards, side steps, bed extenders, and mounting kits (levers, brackets). Facilitated lightweighting with a 50% long glass fiber PA66 thermoplastic that matched the performance of the incumbent metal part
