Their flowability, combined with injection and impact strength, make them a good fit for complex thin-wall moldings while also providing design and processing freedom. We identified a growing need for high-density injection molding solutions that will help brand owners, designers, and manufacturers create weighted premium products with more complex designs than possible when using metals, while simultaneously meeting higher demands on impact strength,” says Matt Mitchell, director of global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. As injection molding materials with good flowability, they deliver finished components in one single process step, helping to facilitate easy assembly.”

What performance factors drive your preference for aluminum or steel in part design? Engineered polymers and specialty composites are gaining popularity because they can achieve metal-like performance while providing design flexibility through injection molding. The outstanding performance-to-weight ratio combined with the ease of injection molding, fewer secondary processing steps, and complete design freedom can aid automotive engineers in many applications.

PolyOne proudly accepted this challenge and collaborated with the nonprofit's founder, Kevin White, to design a simple and effective device specially designed for use in under-resourced communities. Designers Brian Everett, Jane Spikowski, and John Church of PolyOne’s IQ Design team donated design time and expertise to help White, executive director of GV2020, develop his invention, a diagnostic device called the U-See™. PHOTO CAPTION: PolyOne’s IQ Design team assisted with the design, moldfilling analysis, and production of the injection-molded USee device, which includes a copolyester frame, medical-grade polycarbonate lenses, and acetal for the dials and gears.

For both product lines, a “D” designates a TPE based on SBS or SIS, while a “G” designates a TPE based on SEBS or SEPS. To correct this problem, raise the processing temperature and reduce the injection speed. Injection molding of thin wall parts requires a low viscosity TPE.
