FOAMING PREDICITION SERVICE Avient Design uses Autodesk® Moldflow® simulation software1 to provide 3D simulations of parts foamed with Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents during the mold filling phase. This software is used to predict the material behavior during this process and, as a result, we can provide the potential weight reduction, mechanical properties of the final foamed part, and recommendations for optimal tool design*. The service is currently available for standard injection molding processes.

Both grades, designed for two-shot injection molding, provide a soft touch and grippy feel to enhance ergonomics, comfort and ease of use for housings of hand-held scanners, patient monitors, infusion pumps, defibrillators, reusable surgical devices and other durable medical devices.

We can engage with design engineers worldwide and support the manufacturing of their products where they need us,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. They are easily colorable, suitable for injection molding and overmolding onto polypropylene (PP) substrates, and available globally. 

Technical information, design guides, processing information and more. Reusable concentrates significantly reduce time spent cleaning extrusion and injection molding equipment.

Nearly 40 percent lighter than the cast aluminum it would replace, the long fiber material also added the benefit of injection molding for faster, single-step production to drive down costs. With our material science and design expertise, we assist our customers in navigating the material-change journey so that they can achieve greater efficiencies and performance.”

Versaflex CE 3140 grades are available globally, injection moldable, and able to be overmolded to PC, ABS, PC/ABS, and COPE. They are a natural color TPE that can be easily colored to match design specs or branding preferences.
