How can you drive more productivity from your facilities? These panels give each vehicle a unique look, while also minimizing damage and repair costs from encounters with shopping carts, car doors and other soft bumps.

A team of engineers from the supplier and the OEM met with Avient experts to look at possible polypropylene options. The shape processed more efficiently, delivering a cycle-time reduction and, more significantly, reducing wear on the material handling equipment that carried the pellets 500 feet from silo to press.

Overmolding to a wide variety of modified and filled nylons is now possible with solutions from Avient. PP overmolding is a common characteristic of thermoplastic elastomers from GLS.

Wall thickness in the range from 0.060" to 0.120" will ensure good bonding in most overmolding applications. Prevent the TPE from flashing over areas on the substrate.

As PET undergoes multiple remelting cycles, it can break down, suffering from thermal degradation, and resulting in a material of lower quality than its virgin counterpart. This degradation can impact the processability, quality, and food safety of packaging made from rPET.

The bio-based content of the carrier resin varies from 70% to 95% and even 100% in some cases. As such, they can be used in a wide range of applications, from housings of drug delivery and diagnostic devices, and pharmaceutical containers and closures to labware tubes, syringes, and cannulae. 

These braces, traditionally made with steel, were initially fabricated from aluminum for a solid weight savings of 3 kg per vehicle over steel versions. 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.
