TECHNICAL EXPERTISE HELPS ELECTRONIC CONNECTOR COMPANY ENTER NEW MARKET © 2021, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more about Bergamid™ Nylon Formulations, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) or visit us at avient.com. Working closely with the manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material required a special combination of properties: • A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of signal dampening prescribed • Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective electrical connection and at the same time allow for snap-fit installation • A cost-effective solution that would enable the manufacturer to compete in this new market Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more than 30 different materials.

PREPERM helps to design more sustainable products. The advantages of PREPERM materials relate to more efficient data transfer (antennas, mobile base stations, satellite communication), better sensitivity (GPS, radars, radomes) and longer battery life (mobile and IoT devices).

Ideas include: • Molded-in metallic • Granite or frost effect • Glow-in-the-dark • Laser marking Optimize Processing Time is money—customized solutions can help you reduce cycle times and handle color changeovers more quickly. We’ll work with you on solutions that help protect the Earth’s resources, such as: • Increase use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content with highly loaded colorants • Use foaming agents to reduce material usage • Extend product life with additives that protect against harsh environments • Conserve resources with solutions that enable more efficient production; reduce part weight, energy or material consumption; enable faster cycle times; or provide better insulating properties Ready to optimize your process using Smartbatch concentrates?

In this increasingly growing marketplace, choosing the right materials and colors is more important than ever to captivate today’s discriminating ‘pet parents’ as they seek to create comfortable, safe and fun home environments. ENSURING EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE AND MANUFACTURABILITY Go beyond color with our full complement of additive technologies designed to improve your product, from enhanced functionality to more efficient processing.
