Sheet metal restricts design flexibility, and different automotive OEMs request different attachment configurations for the part,” Spiess explained. What’s more, the polymer enabled HellermannTyton to switch from a two-step metal fabrication process to a one-step injection molding process, while Avient provided additional assistance with tool development, process optimization and testing.

Therefore, we expect our suppliers to have the same level of commitment to quality and the customer-first mindset we place as one of our top priorities at Avient. 1.2 Scope Avient requires all suppliers to adopt this SQM and maintain a QMS which meets the minimum requirements defined in this manual. Avient reserves the right to verify the changed sub-tier supplier structure. 5.0 Avient Business Expectations Suppliers may be asked to provide additional material specific documentation related to the following functional areas:  Environmental, Health, and Safety  Regulatory  Sourcing  Purchasing  Technology / Research & Development Any other functional group-specific requirements may be communicated through the appropriate Avient representative.

At the same time, however, it produces considerable data that must be effectively managed with new time- and cost-efficient tools. It is one of the fastest color design tools currently available in the market and is supported by rapid manufacturing and delivery of samples.”

Avient’s recent launch of its TÜV Rheinland-Certified Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator is just one example of its commitment to sustainability. Colorant Chromatics™ is a market leader in coloring fluoropolymers and high-temperature polymers, with formulations that can provide robust material performance and ultra-high-heat resistance without compromising safety, extending the product shelf life in cables in demanding industries such as aerospace, oil and gas, telecommunication, and building and construction  

The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) is the only organization that supports the entire plastics supply chain, including Equipment Suppliers, Material Suppliers, Processors, and Recyclers, representing over one million workers in our $468 billion U.S. industry. PLASTICS advances the priorities of our members, who are dedicated to investing in technologies that improve capabilities and advances in recycling and sustainability and providing essential products that allow for the protection and safety of our lives.

Adding a comfortable grip to these products is one way to provide this kind of valuable differentiation in any competitive space. Consumer products that use a TPE grip have been used extensively to provide ergonomic benefits, particularly for usability and safety.
