The Challenge
Hydrocerol improved productivity up to 20% due to lower cycle times and processability on different injection molding units.
Using Hydrocerol with core-back molding technology, a process in which the mold is opened slightly to further reduce pressure and allow the foam core to expand, Avient helped the customer leverage density reduction to lower finished part weight.

An award-winning group of highly experienced
industrial designers, design engineers and prototyping
technicians, Avient Design helps customers with all
aspects of new product development, from concept to
production.
They also provided mold
fill evaluations to evaluate the best injection parameter
set up to process Therma-Tech in the respective mold.
In using a thermoplastic, Elausa has been able to
simplify manufacturing, now injection molding the
complex heat sink in a single step, saving production
time and increasing capacity.

HellermannTyton decided to develop the seat securement
part using injection-molded Bergamid resin in a standard
black color.
A major German automaker has already
made the switch to the new seat fastening part for a vehicle
currently in production
Injection molding = system cost savings: Compared
to metal fabrication, which requires time-consuming
secondary operations, injection molded plastics can be
produced as a net-shape part in a single step, boosting
productivity and lowering system costs.
