One way to amp up your vehicle interiors? And it needed to match the Audi Q5 interior colors while offering protection from both direct and indirect sunlight. It offered low-temperature flexibility, good abrasion resistance, excellent colorability, and resistance to attack from UV radiation – ticking off every check box on the Jäger team’s wish list.

One such application includes the underbody braces that contribute to vehicle stability. 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.
