Its core material, ElectriPlast®, is an electrically conductive resin-based material whose properties allow it to be molded into infinite shapes and sizes associated with plastics and rubbers, while reducing component weight by 40 to 60%.

The GRS-certified color and additive solutions from Avient contain a required percentage of pre-consumer or post-consumer recycled polyester primarily from recycled PET, Nylon, PP, PE, and other resin bases that aim to save on energy and water use during the spin-dyeing (dope-dyeing) process. 

On the other hand, color trends based on deep-rooted societal changes have greater authenticity and staying power.

Based on static and dynamic data, the virtual simulations can more accurately predict where an injection molded plastic part may crack or break when exposed to physical loading forces or a sudden impact (crash simulation).

They then select colors and effects that are likely to be consumers’ preferred color choices in 2024 based on these trends.

These high frequency, conductive materials enable faster and more reliable connections for antennas, base stations, resonators, lenses, automotive radar, IoT (Internet of Things) devices, and service providers’ equipment that directly serves end-users, such as routers and modems.
