This not only caused a high scrap rate, but also led to frequent interruptions in the automated process so that the mold and machine could be cleaned. THE IMPACT Avient’s formulation expertise produced a specialty TPE solution that surpassed not only silicone but also competitive TPEs to solve the gasket adhesion problem for this medical manufacturer.

THE CHALLENGE Traditionally, automakers have paired leather interior door panels with luxury vehicles to achieve an overall high-end look. THE IMPACT The Avient solution eliminated processing issues the supplier had encountered with competitive materials, such as air entrapment and demolding difficulties.

Adding to the list of challenges, silicone rubber carries a high price tag. THE IMPACT The launch of the glow-in-the-dark control grips exceeded the company’s expectations.
