Create a new olefinic material for an HVAC door flap that would remove weight and withstand copper deposits in a luxury vehicle for an exclusive German automaker.
However, in this case, designers had reduced the thickness of the part wall significantly to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent.
In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the material and process would need to deliver an ultra-low cycle time with improved processability and tailored crystallization dynamics, while also resisting warpage after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic parts.

Avient Thermoplastic Tapes
Engineered or unidirectional fibers are combined
with thermoplastic resins to create continuous
fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide
superior strength-to-weight ratio and high
performance for reinforcement across a broad
range of applications.
POLYSTRAND™
THERMOPLASTIC TAPES
STRONG, IMPACT RESISTANT,
LIGHTWEIGHT
Formulated with glass fiber reinforcement and
engineered thermoplastic resins, these continuous
fiber composites offer reduced weight while
maintaining exceptional strength and impact
resistance.
Engineered Fiber Thermoplastic Tapes provide
excellent strength-to-weight and creep resistance
suitable for demanding composite applications.

Compared to metal,
LFTs can reduce a vehicle’s weight by up to 40%,
leading to significant fuel savings and emission
reductions.
Our diverse range of advanced polymers and long
fiber reinforced composites gives you the freedom
to innovate, create high-strength components that
eliminate unnecessary weight, and unleash fresh
designs that offer superior performance while
remaining economically viable to produce.

Mold design also influences the optimization
of weight reduction, surface aesthetics and cell
uniformity.
The weight reduction that can be achieved
greatly depends on the geometry of the part.
Under certain conditions, weight
reductions of more than 30% are possible.
