Part design freedom Leverage Trends for Automotive Design Learn how to stay one step ahead of automotive design trends.

Design factors, such as shape or wall thickness, are certainly important as are other factors, like screw design and line speed, which all influence the choice of materials. Let us help you choose an existing formulation or we can design a custom color based on your needs. Technical information, design guides, processing information and more.

Beyond providing impact protection performance, these specially designed TPEs enable designers, engineers, and product managers to improve abrasion resistance, design thinner cases, and tell a new story for their phone case design.

Additionally, Versaflex FFC helps address the challenges associated with the global silicone rubber supply chain and can help design engineers get new products to market more quickly. However, compliance does not depend solely on the right polymer formulation, but also on the design of the finished article. Avient’s expertise lies not only in formulation development but also in helping customers optimize their product design and increase the likelihood that the end product will be compliant.

MANNHEIM, Germany – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, is exhibiting its specialty portfolio of technologies to automotive designers and engineers this week at the 2014 VDI Plastics in Automotive Engineering conference.  PolyOne is also exhibiting several specialty materials that help automotive designers to optimize sustainability, improve design freedom and boost manufacturing efficiency in the following areas: Vibration and noise control: By replacing traditional rubber and other thermosets, GLS™ TPE formulations tackle noise and vibration issues on exterior mirrors and other parts, while providing functional sealing, greater design freedom, and part consolidation through overmolding.

As sustainable and functional products and packaging becomes an increasingly important aspect of the consumer experience, consumer package goods companies who utilize TPEs in their designs are finding value from better performance, differentiation, and end-use recyclability.” Because GLS TPEs can be used and overmolded onto a wide range of substrates without the use of adhesives, they also offer greater design freedom.
