A global business equipment manufacturer decided to develop a premium line of computer mouse products that offered improved ergonomics and soft-touch qualities. Key to the product development effort was a soft-touch grip that would give users a smooth feel, easy handling, and more physical comfort. The Avient team worked with the manufacturer to meet specific property needs and developed a customized solution that added soft-touch, ergonomic, and friction-free features.

Government funding and support through various laws, tax credits, and development grants indicates that public EV charging equipment production will likely continue on a high growth trajectory. Automakers are also making significant investments, not only in the adoption of EVs but also in the development of a robust infrastructure that will support the millions of vehicles expected to be on the road within the next few years. As the demand for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) rises, new options and charging station models are constantly being developed.

Together they developed a specially formulated pre-colored talc-filled Maxxam™ PP material incorporating OnCap™ CTR Process Optimization Additive. To assure color consistency, the development process also included creation of color specifications – the first time the OEM had such standardization for underhood parts. New tooling was also being developed at the time, and the team was able to provide design input that minimized mold shrinkage during production.

To help address these challenges, Avient teamed up with a leading technology development company. THE SOLUTION Avient worked with the company to develop a novel reinforcement material comprised of Avient Fiber-Line™ carbon fiber tows in which the filaments were manipulated to increase strength and improve abrasion resistance.
