This streamlined manufacturing process can not only reduce production costs but also increase line speed, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for manufacturers.

Increased integration of electronic and mechanical functions using MIDs can meet the challenge that many industries and markets face; namely, finding simple, light weight components without compromising production efficiency and increasing cost,” said Flight Xu, general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia, Avient. Our 3D/LDS technology responds to the growing needs of the market, offering fewer process steps, shorter assembly times, and a cost-efficient profile.” 

These formulations enable manufacturers to meet regulatory and performance targets while also reducing costs for changeover, downtime, and inventory,” said Barto Du Plessis, vice president, Asia for PolyOne. Colorant Chromatics™ Chemical & Physical Foaming Additives: enhanced electrical properties, reduced cable weight, and improved cost effectiveness

The material facilitates two-shot molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly. Together, the manufacturer and Avient settled on a final formulation that could utilize existing tooling, thereby avoiding additional costs.

Balancing these demands is a tough task – aesthetic, emotions, safety and, yes, cost must be considered.  But as carmakers juggle new materials to find the right balance of comfort and cost, it becomes more difficult to maintain color consistency.

Fewer manufacturing steps, less time and cost With Versaflex HC, on the other hand, injection molding happens in seconds, and does not require curing or washing, thus saving significant time and reducing cost.

This procedure was completed by placing one 1/2 inch section of rayon gauze at the apex of each bar, and soaking the gauze with the disinfectant to saturate the material.
