Lightweighting Applications: Exploring the potential of foaming techniques and polymer substitutions to reduce weight and enhance efficiency, thus replacing traditional metal components Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Move Over Metal Composites for Lightweighting, Reinforcing, and Replacing Metal in Automotive Applications APPLICATION BULLETIN Composites offer higher strength-to-weight ratios exceeding the structural performance of traditional materials while significantly reducing weight—up to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter than aluminum. Avient’s manufacturing processes can leverage strength- to-weight ratios and anisotropy to make highly engineered composites that optimize material usage. Fiber reinforced polymer composites are exceptional alternatives to traditional materials such as wood, ceramic, and metal, enabling designers to create lighter weight structural components for increased lifetime performance, and improved fuel efficiency.

Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialised and sustainable material solutions and services, has invested in testing equipment, personnel, and software to help its customers gain insight into its unique material solutions and how they perform.

For SEBS formulations, if the machine is down over the weekend, purge it with a high molecular weight (low or fractional melt flow) LDPE at low temperatures before shut down. Increased density, thus higher part weights. Monitoring part weights has successfully been used to verify process stability and consistency.
