CASE STUDY: TRILLIANT™ HC HIGH PERFORMANCE FORMULATIONS
Challe
nge Accepted.
Trilliant HC High Performance Formulations were
developed for the application needs.
The results showed the
Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and
had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability
rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient
also used its custom color matching capabilities to
provide pre-colored material that simplified molding,
while the material’s wide processing window helped
accommodate a variety of molding environments.

THE IMPACT
For the manufacturer, Trilliant™ HC specialty engineered
materials provided a number of advantages that
contributed to the success of the new product line:
• Reduced Cycle Time: The high flow properties
of the Trilliant HC formulation allowed the
manufacturer to produce warp-free parts that
require less packing and cooling time, resulting
in a 40% cycle time reduction
Through customer intimacy, Avient’s Trilliant HC
formulations offered an effective solution that allowed
the manufacturer to improve its bottom line and
increase its operating income.
