• Beyond Price Tags: Materials are just one piece of the cost puzzle.
And
with their lighter weight, they help cut down on transportation costs, too.

We delivered year-over-year earnings growth, much of which came from
margin improvement in Europe and prudent cost control by our teams.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the
timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, environmental remediation
costs, mark-to-market adjustments associated with benefit plans, acquisition related costs, and
other non-routine costs.
These costs are included in Corporate and eliminations.

It was important that the new connector provide signal
dampening within an established range as specified by the
customer without exceeding the established cost targets.
In
addition, they are costly to manufacture, which makes them
economically unfeasible for use in low-cost computers.
Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The
selected resin must offer significant savings over the
current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material
and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration
of the low-cost computer market with a competitive
connector.

THE SOLUTION
Avient recommended Bergamid™ B70 G30H black TM-X PA 6
resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement for its excellent
mechanical properties and cost benefits.
Injection molding = system cost savings: Compared
to metal fabrication, which requires time-consuming
secondary operations, injection molded plastics can be
produced as a net-shape part in a single step, boosting
productivity and lowering system costs.
Further, the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower
than those of bent steel plate.
