Raw Material Cost In high-heat applications, for instance, LSR is the preferred material solution. Take a deeper dive into these competitive materials in our eBook

Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more than 30 different materials.    The Avient material met the targeted cost and performance targets Avient’s solution was a unique, nylon-based material that met the all of the application’s performance requirements.

Add a material that’s soft to the touch, colorable and durable. Because they are readily colorable, these materials reduce scrap due to off-spec or inconsistent color. The resulting TPE material met this requirement and shortened cycle times.

Avient has a broad portfolio of sustainable solutions that can help customers meet their innovation and sustainable goals through material science.

Article Exploring the World of Fluoropolymers A look at processing and coloring these high-performance materials.

These are in addition to bio-based polyolefin materials that Avient introduced in 2021. Along with pre-colored formulations for users who prefer ready-to-use solutions, they are more sustainable drop-in replacements for fossil-based materials. These bio-based materials can be processed on standard injection-molding machines and extruders and can be recycled in the same recycling channels as conventional fossil-based polymers.

But we’re committed to leading the industry by offering sustainable options even in our performance-critical materials like long fiber composites.” Creating a positive environmental impact by reducing ocean-bound plastic waste, Complēt R nylon 6 long fiber composites can help OEMs to meet their goals for using materials containing recycled content. 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
