Combat outposts require barriers and other structures that must be constructed quickly and efficiently in the field.

Learn how molded-in color can offer the same eye-popping effects of paint at a greater efficiency and lower cost.

Better manufacturing efficiency: Cycle time for the two-part manufacturing process was 60% quicker than had been anticipated during development and production trials, and scrap rates were lower than expected;

The material facilitates two-shot molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly.

Additionally, automotive parts and devices made from TPE make vehicles lighter and more fuel efficient. This reduction in weight allows trucks to move with greater fuel efficiency, and fewer trucks are needed on the road in general. https://www.avient.com/products/thermoplastic-elastomers/resound-om-thermoplastic-elastomers https://www.avient.com/avient-launches-resound-r-recycled-content-portfolios-north-america-and-asia https://www.avient.com/industries/transportation/trucking/trucking-structural-components https://www.avient.com/lighter-weight-easier-processing-heat-resistance-polyone%E2%80%99s-crosslinkable-barricade-elastomers-have-it-all What are medical grade TPEs? The most efficient way to discover whether TPEs could work for you, or which kind of TPE is best for you, is to speak with the experts directly.

Virtual, computer-aided modelling is a critical tool to help predict part performance, streamline design, expedite prototyping and improve manufacturing efficiencies. We are putting data to work to boost efficiency, productivity, quality and safety across industrial, manufacturing, infrastructure, public sector, and mobility applications.
