Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT) for Brackets and Latches Unlock opportunities for cost savings, lightweighting, & production efficiencies Brackets and latches are traditionally made of cast aluminum or stamped steel. However, metals also have known limitations that impact cost, processing, and design. Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) combine the structural integrity of metals with the lighter weight and cost-effectiveness of thermoplastic composites.

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non- routine costs.

As a result of the system-based cost savings and improved supply reliability, the manufacturer made the decision to proceed with the Avient solution. Cost savings: The hose manufacturer is saving $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material. Higher productivity: The improved flow properties of the Versalloy solution enabled the hose manufacturer to increase throughput by two seconds, which in turn reduced total system costs.

THE SOLUTION Maintaining premium aesthetic standards while lowering processing costs can be difficult. Switching from metal forming to injection molding would also enable processing cost savings and expanded design freedom. THE IMPACT The closure producer’s team switched to Gravi-Tech material, and immediately logged a 35% cost savings due to lower material and processing costs.

High-quality conductive pipette tips must meet a number of demanding performance criteria, including: • Accurate measurement of minute quantities of liquid • Hydrophobic properties to minimize fluid retention • Concentric dimensions and warp resistance • Excellent chemical resistance The manufacturer asked Avient for a specialized solution to meet these exacting needs in a timely and efficient manner so they could capitalize on its market opportunity THE SOLUTION Avient’s sales and technical professionals worked closely with the manufacturer to understand the demanding requirements of the end-use application, manufacturing considerations and cost. THE IMPACT For the manufacturer, Trilliant™ HC specialty engineered materials provided a number of advantages that contributed to the success of the new product line: • Reduced Cycle Time: The high flow properties of the Trilliant HC formulation allowed the manufacturer to produce warp-free parts that require less packing and cooling time, resulting in a 40% cycle time reduction. • Increased Production: Additionally, the high flow properties of the Trilliant HC formulation allowed for an increase in the number of cavities in the mold, resulting in a machine cost-per-part savings of over 30%. • Reduced Scrap Rate: The consistent conductivity, improved warp resistance, reduced flash, and improved durability provided by the Trilliant HC formulation meant less breakage, fewer rejects and a 40% reduction in scrap rate. • Total Manufacturing Cost Savings: Despite an increase I price per pound over the competition, the manufacturer’s total cash costs were reduced by over $45,000 on an annualized basis as a result of the proven, quantified savings in cycle time, productivity and scrap.
