Vinod Purayath is Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services. Purayath has achieved global success in materials development, with a particular emphasis on semiconductor and digital memory applications. Purayath later joined Applied Materials, as the technology leader for its new Selective Removal Products business, and most recently served as Vice President, Process Technology for SunRise Memory.

Because this material is injection-moldable, you can add more electronics inside the housing and even reduce the device’s overall footprint. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

So we’ve developed the ideal TPEs for your infant care application, from materials that are durable and safe for baby contact to regulatory compliant grades and soft-touch solutions Today’s infant care product manufacturers are searching for materials they can count on for durability, but they also need expanded design possibilities. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Specialty Toners for PC Polycarbonate is used for the production of automotive interiors and appliances to consumer goods and electronics, replacing more traditional materials such as glass and acrylic. It is increasingly becoming the most popular material of choice due to its versatile characteristics and recyclability. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

These materials outperform nylon 6 and flexible PVC with better flexibility, lower moisture absorption, better insulation properties, and they are RoHS compliant. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Unlike flexible PVC, which loses flexibility over time, Avient materials do not fail over the MCCB’s service life (approximately 10 years).

Ready for testing, the new material was subjected to rigorous environmental testing, including months of sun exposure and long-term placement in humidity-rich environments. Beyond grip, the non-abrasive material doesn’t peel up thanks to a durable bond with the adhesive backing, giving customers a reliable solution that eliminates the problem of a slippery surface. Adding to that success, the material’s ability to retain traction when wet opened doors for SurfCo to expand into new markets and applications.

Ideally, ribs should be a little thinner so as to not create thick spots –75% of wall thickness for a low-shrink material and 50% for a high-shrink material. Aim for 75% of wall thickness for a low-shrink material, and 50% of wall thickness for a high-shrink material, with a draft angle from ¼° to 1°. If the hole is too close to the edge, the material may not flow well around it.

Our technical and application development teams will work with you to provide material selection support and product customization to achieve your performance needs. Available in rolls of unidirectional tape as well as X-Ply™ 0°/90° and other multi-ply laminates, Polystrand materials can be post- formed and co-molded with mixed materials in thermoforming and injection molding processes to provide lightweight strength to a variety of part designs. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Chemical compatibility of the packaging materials is equally important. Our materials allow you to add surface texture by bead blasting or chemically texturing the mold. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

When adding color to TPU materials for use in wire and cable applications, it is important to maintain the original TPU performance characteristics. Additives can also be used to further enhance the performance characteristics of TPU materials and help customers reach end use specifications. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
