No matter which process you choose—assembling panels from aluminum, steel or wood; hand lay-up with composites; or producing panels using the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process—throughput remains low while costs are high. Our high fiber volume, glass-reinforced thermoplastic panels and continuous resin transfer molding (CRTM) thermoset sandwich panels can streamline production and reduce system costs by eliminating assembly steps such as welding, drilling, bolting and riveting.

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. Working closely with the manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material required a special combination of properties: • A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of signal dampening prescribed • Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective electrical connection and at the same time allow for snap-fit installation • A cost-effective solution that would enable the manufacturer to compete in this new market Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more than 30 different materials.

Color effects are suggested based on several criteria, including: • Specific applications • Ability to execute the effect in distinct resin grades • Performance requirements of the application If you do not see the color effect you are looking for, please contact us to collaborate on a solution.
