THE SOLUTION The supplier’s design team approached Avient in hopes of finding an alternative material that could replace leather yet eliminate processing issues.

Working closely with the producer, the Avient team recommended customizing a high density, engineered material formulation as an alternative to metal.

Laser welding is a good alternative to chemical adhesives or mechanical assembly as it provides high-quality seams with minimal mechanical stress, no surface damage, and minimal flash and particle development.
