Composite panels can be designed for specific strength, stiffness and weight requirements – learn more in this webinar Historically, plywood and other materials have been used as structural panels across a variety of industries. However, as sustainability initiatives grow and designs become increasingly complex, new material alternatives are needed.

When designing a TPE part, there are a few general rules to follow: The flow to thickness ratio should be 200 maximum, however this is dependent on the material and the part design. The distance the material flows is measured in inches.

The versatile nylon product line allows design engineers to tailor their material selections to balance application demands with cost and performance. Protective Materials Replace metal with engineered polymers that enhance product design and functionality

Our new Versaflex CE 3130 series materials integrate lasting aesthetics and functionality,” said Matthew Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. This can occur due to improper injection molding conditions or the incompatibility of a TPE or vulcanized silicone material with certain additives. Using Versaflex non-blooming materials, brands and OEMs can achieve a premium, silky-soft overmolded surface without surface blooms.

CLEVELAND– September 10, 2020 – At the virtual Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX), Avient Corporation will introduce new enhanced adhesion formulations for its Glasforms™ thermoset pultruded composites. In addition, it will feature its advanced, wide-ranging thermoplastic and thermoset composite materials portfolio. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses
