Composite solutions for lightweighting, reinforcing, and replacing metal in automotive applications Polystrand™, Glasforms™, and Gordon Composites™ are exceptional alternatives to traditional materials such as wood, ceramic, and metal for automotive applications. Polystrand™ aPET thermoplastic composite tri-ply laminate solution replaced metal and provided an impact resistant and corrosion-proof composite material to prevent dents and rust.

Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aid for Extrusion: for use in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) applications, it reduces friction between the polymer and the metal during extrusion comparable to a traditional processing aid but is formulated without fluoropolymers which may be classifiable as per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) and will be presented during Avient’s technical seminar at NPE, “PFAS Alternatives: 2024 and Beyond,” by Sean Bernhardt, Senior Research and Development Manager, Color, Additives, & Inks, Americas at Avient, on May 7 at 3 p.m. and May 8 at 1 p.m. Lightweighting Applications: Exploring the potential of foaming techniques and polymer substitutions to reduce weight and enhance efficiency, thus replacing traditional metal components Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

When bonded to the metal, the polymer core mimics a natural disc, absorbing impact and shock while bearing mechanical stresses from the vertebrae.
