Discover how Avient can help you develop and build nearly any automotive part you need to create.

Avient can also develop formulations that incorporate other properties to enhance processing or mechanical properties.

Avient and Southern States worked together to develop a modular design using GlasArmor ballistic panels.

Starting with specific performance requirements, Avient’s formulation experts set to work developing several thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) grades that could deliver better productivity and enhanced key properties than the silicone rubber part.

The PCR Color Prediction Service can help shorten the time-to-launch of new product ranges, allowing fast and reliable checks prior to initiating sample development. 

With nothing clearly available in the market, the teams worked to develop an entirely new solution: Syncure™ Solar, a single-layer jacketing and insulation material made of cross-linked polyethylene. 

For the brace, Avient's engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.

Developing application-specific formulations requires experience plus a holistic understanding of the demands of end-use industries, plastics processing, and polymer science.

Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals

An accent groove of 0.015" to 0.030" (0.381 mm to 0.762 mm) depth and 0.030" to 0.040" (0.762 mm to 1.02 mm) width helps to develop a good shut-off.
