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.

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.

One way clothing and footwear producers are working to address these priorities is by using more recycled raw materials, such as recycled polyester from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, within their synthetic fibers. Companies wishing to switch from bath-dyeing to spin-dyeing can rely on this expertise and our global footprint to make the switch as easy and efficient as possible.

Engineered polymers can be designed with specific thermal properties, possessing either excellent thermal conductivity or enabling efficient heat dissipation from the battery cells. Thermally conductive formulations can also be electrically isolative or conductive, combining thermal performance with protection from electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference, depending on the needs of the specific component.
