In order to optimize its profit margins, the company sought to control system costs by avoiding secondary assembly and handling. Lower system costs = higher margins: By reducing waste from part deformation, the Avient TPE allowed the manufacturer to leverage efficient, fast 2K molding for system cost reduction. With OnFlex-S TPE, the company achieved system cost benefits that have made this product line a profitable one.

These cost-effective thermoplastics provide LED manufacturers with an alternative to traditional polymers with no tradeoffs in performance. Resilienceä LS Frost PVC offers equivalent properties and material performance to acrylic (PMMA) at a notably lower cost, depending on volume and profile size. Production costs are reduced by eliminating the vacuum metallization step.

This approach maintained the streamlined design while controlling costs. Cost savings: Molding the bumpers separately and inserting them into the housing keeps costs down yet provides the seamless appearance of overmolding. Creating a two cavity tool for the bumpers saved PTA 70% over the cost of an overmolding tool, and reduced scrap rates typical with overmolded housings by 80%.

Additional weight, manufacturing challenges and ultimately, higher costs. Its thermally conductive properties allow for effective heat management, but material and production costs can be high. Replacing aluminum heat sinks with polymer ones can greatly reduce both the total cost and weight of a part.
