AVIENT SOLUTION ADDRESSES CRITICAL MANUFACTURING PRODUCTIVITY ISSUES AND DELIVERS OVER $100,000 PER YEAR IN SAVINGS The manufacturer produces 7.5 million cases per year, and was using liquid injection molded (LIM) silicone for this part. With the Avient material, the manufacturer is expected to save $122,000 per year vs. silicone.

Avient Composite Heat Release is a new, patent- pending material innovation that can help manufacturers reduce weight and add stiffness to firearm barrels. The internal steel barrel bores are fabricated by the firearms manufacturer to their specifications and SAAMI compliance and are supplied to Avient. Firearms manufacturer- supplied steel bore Low thermal inertia ceramic inner layer Customized carbon fiber composite sleeve

Together, these factors hampered the manufacturer’s ability to reach the market in a timely manner and tightened profit margins. THE SOLUTION Seeking a way to address these challenges, the manufacturer consulted Avient. The Avient team first collaborated with this manufacturer to define the specific requirements for the antimicrobial additive.

The manufacturer sought high-performance material solutions to create these features and significantly improve the computer user’s experience. The material facilitates two-shot molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly. THE IMPACT The new premium mouse hit store shelves amid positive reviews, generating brisk sales and enabling the manufacturer to improve its share of market.

RAIL CAR MANUFACTURER D O O R P A N E L • High stiffness-to-weight ratio and improved thermal insulation to incumbent materials • Efficient manufacturing process to ensure quality panel construction and standards • Domestic supply and manufacturing to ensure timely delivery • Reduced component complexity compared to metal • Custom-engineered panel with varying core materials and thicknesses to meet performance requirements • Reliable material supply with product manufactured in United States CRTM™ Composite Sandwich Panels KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT AVIENT SOLUTION CORROSION & IMPACT RESISTANT LEARN MORE Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

THE SOLUTION The manufacturer worked with Avient to identify alternatives to FEP insulation that would meet requirements in their data cable. After delivering polypropylene-based samples from the Maxxam™ FR line for immediate trial, the Avient team also worked with the manufacturer to help them determine the best pair combination design. Upon achieving full-scale production, the manufacturer was also able to reach line speeds of over 1,000 fpm at thicknesses of 10 mil or below, while reducing material costs by 33%.

THE CHALLENGE A leading lighting products manufacturer was developing its latest offering for the LED luminaires market and looking for ways to solve aesthetic and performance issues while streamlining a complicated manufacturing process. To further complicate matters, the company was under a directive to bring lens production back to the United States to improve manufacturing efficiency. This optimized combination of additive and color technology eliminated the “hot spots,” and achieved the sought-after bright white light, and streamlined the entire manufacturing process by enabling in-house production.
