However, even when there is a clear trend, it is possible to find aesthetics that stand out from the rest because of the complex nature of human beings. This can be best achieved by attending a live presentation by one of Avient’s CMF experts, who will guide brand owners and designers through the different societal trends and color concepts. The ColorWorks team can adapt any color concepts or ideas that arise from ColorForward to CMF requirements, or even create entirely new ones inspired by the ColorForward presentation.

For best results manufacturers should understand the material’s processing benefits and limitations before designing a mold.  Processing Styrenic Block Copolymer TPEs from GLS GLS produces standard products ranging in hardness from 3 Shore A (softest) to 95 Shore A (hardest). 

Designers conceptualized a new, larger version of the Soldier’s model, including 10 tools, a lock blade that can be opened with one hand and, importantly, a non-slip handle manufactured from a combination of hard and soft thermoplastics. THE IMPACT With our support, Victorinox was enabled to do what it does best—develop and manufacture high-quality tools that meet both military and consumer needs. Beyond finding the best material combination—Bergamid™ nylon copolymer and GLS™ TPEs—our global presence and expertise across an array of specialty polymers and colorants, combined with local service and support, helped Victorinox to accelerate development work, streamline production and reach their design goals.

In general, the rough surface produced when EDM the cavity will produce a good surface and good release from the mold. For conventional cold runner tools, full-round runners are best because they provide the lease resistance to flow and minimize cooling in the runner. Externally heated manifolds are best.

At Avient, we’ve developed robust capabilities in all of thee areas, and we’ve applied them with countless customers to take their designs from good to great. We can recommend changes based on Moldflow® analysis and our knowledge of best practices for thermoplastic part design, flow rates and gating.
