FOAMING PREDICITION SERVICE Avient Design uses Autodesk® Moldflow® simulation software1 to provide 3D simulations of parts foamed with Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents during the mold filling phase.
This software is used to predict the material behavior during this process and, as a result, we can provide the potential weight reduction, mechanical properties of the final foamed part, and recommendations for optimal tool design*.
The service is currently available for standard injection molding processes.

(API) of Gainesville, Texas, a manufacturer of plastic pipe components, saw an opportunity to design a flapper valve that could improve upon traditional brass valves and enable non-corrosive, all-plastic piping systems.
THE IMPACT Gravi-Tech high-density formulations enabled API to design and mold a patented, full-opening flapper valve that is not only unique in the market, but also offers important cost, performance and environmental advantages over brass.. • System cost reduction = competitive advantage: The PolyChek valve featuring Gravi-Tech materials offer customers faster installation, less maintenance and longer life. • Design freedom = unique product offering: The ability to injection mold Gravi-Tech materials instead of machining brass enabled API to design a cost-effective, full-opening flapper valve that is 100% pigable. • High performance = customer satisfaction: The PolyChek valve gives API’s customers the ability to create all-plastic piping systems that eliminate leakage and weak spots. • Elimination of lead = increased safety and compliance: Replacing brass with Gravi-Tech high-density formulations eliminates health and safety concerns about lead. • Use of existing tooling = lower capital costs: API was able to use the same mold originally designed for nylon to run the Gravi-Tech materials, saving the substantial costs of retooling.
Thanks to the customized Gravi-Tech material, API was able to successfully design and mold a flapper valve that is the only one of its kind on the market—and offers a less expensive solution than traditional brass valves.
