While leather offers a lavish look and feel, the production time and cost seemed excessive compared to slush molding.
Based on industry averages, a leather armrest typically adds $30 to the cost of producing a single door, while the approximate cost of a slush molded vinyl armrest is about $10 per door.
Given industry-specific cost structures for niche vehicle door production, this improvement can be estimated to save the customer approximately $100,000 annually.

Tailored to customer design and performance specifications, panels are engineered with custom formulated resins, structural core materials, and fibers to achieve specific stiffness, strength, weight, performance and cost targets.
An engineered panel can reduce system costs through elimination of welding, drilling, bolting and riveting typically associated with metallic panel fabrication.
Unlimited lengths and a continuous manufacturing process also provide significant cost savings over traditional composite panel manufacturing techniques.

Involving ColorWorks at the earliest stage of product development can simplify the development process, shorten time-to-market, control costs and feasibility, and manage global color consistency.
Once the framework is established, the development process kicks into high gear, utilizing a comprehensive toolbox of cutting-edge technologies: • Mood boards for conceptualization • Extensive color libraries, both physical and digital • Rapid prototyping and sampling • Photorealistic 3D rendering • Accurate cost and feasibility assessment tools This iterative process allows for quick turnarounds and efficient approvals, ensuring that the final product meets all expectations.
This collaborative design approach has been shown to reduce development times by 50% or more and generate substantial total cost savings.

Working together, we can help you arrive at an optimal solution with speed and accuracy, while helping to lower product development and manufacturing costs.
High strength produces parts with greater stiffness and warp resistance, again minimizing scrap-related costs.
Superior durability reduces breakage and resultant scrap related costs.

If you are debating that decision, however, consider the true costs and the potential impact on your operations.
Avient can help by reducing your inventory complexity and driving out cost to manage.
When you consider the hidden costs and potential distractions associated with in-house plastisol production, it may make sense for you to stay focused on your key priorities—keeping your customers happy and growing your business.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-10/photovoltaic-floating-power-station-case-study.pdf
While solar power is touted as a viable option to meet the growing demand, development of land-based photovoltaic power stations is limited in some cases by the cost of land, and in others by less-than-optimal amounts of sunlight.
These power stations sidestep high land costs and remove all obstacles to light absorption.
This masterbatch extends the lifespan of thermoplastic parts within the power stations, and minimize costs by reducing weathering-related damage.
