THE CHALLENGE
Elausa Electronics specializes in the design and
manufacture of electronic components for industrial
and automotive industries, working in close
collaboration with many automotive OEMs and Tier 1
companies for electronics and lighting applications.
By replacing aluminum with a thermoplastic,
Elausa was looking to reduce cost, part weight and
improve ease of manufacturing, all while maintaining an
equivalent level of thermal conductivity and ensuring
comparable performance.
In using a thermoplastic, Elausa has been able to
simplify manufacturing, now injection molding the
complex heat sink in a single step, saving production
time and increasing capacity.

This technology enables packaging manufacturers
to create unlimited combinations of color and
gloss to design a brilliant metallic look that
demands attention.
Manufacturers
are always looking for new and striking color
combinations and special effects for packaging.
Our testing has shown that packaging
manufactured with Impress does not have flow
lines.

Formulations are
heavy metal free and manufactured using state-
of-the-art pigment dispersion techniques that
improve homogenization and color distribution
during injection molding.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Consistent coloring and improved
homogenization with the polymer offer more
efficient processing and waste reduction
• Opaque PEI masterbatches available with
shorter lead times and a range of readily
available standard colors
• Minimum order quantities as low as 5kg (10 lbs)
for improved inventory control
• Robust colorant formulations mean no
disruptions to existing molding processes,
allowing manufacturers to bring products
to market faster and without investing in
new machinery
FEATURES AND COLORS
PEI colorants are manufactured using 100% prime
virgin PEI resin.

The direction of forces will help to shape the
form and even manufacturing details of the grip.
ENSURING SUCCESSFUL MANUFACTURING
IMPLEMENTATION
While you are optimizing the form, material and
texture of a handheld device’s grip, it’s a good time
to think about manufacturing.
Designing for manufacturability can help avoid
costly setbacks and reduce development time.

They looked to the engineering team
at Avient for material selection and manufacturing
guidance.
Avient’s team of engineers was very helpful in
determining the right materials and refining our
manufacturing process,” said Josh Caputo, president
