The search led Kruunutekniikka’s design engineering team to Avient. A collaborative team from the two companies looked at potential options before developing a material that combined two grades of Avient’s Therma-Tech™ thermal management formulations.  The team tested the formulation and phased it into production, and Kruunutekniikka’s Coolics™ brand quickly adopted the material throughout its line of customized LED cooling systems.

Mars Otomotiv’s engineering team was on the hot seat.  The Mars Otomotiv engineering team needed to eliminate all of these issues by finding a different material for the heat sinks. Again working in tandem, the Mars Otomotiv engineers and Avient’s technical team were able to alter the mold so it could process the thermoplastic in place of aluminum.

No matter how many times you expose TPEs to sufficient heat they will become soft and re-harden when cool. ¹http://www.ptonline.com/articles/getting-into-lsr--part-iv-how-lsr-tooling-is-different  See accompanying Compression Set graph.)

When PolyCase Ammunition was getting ready to produce its new line of high performance ammunition, the project team knew they needed a material that would be easily enable them to produce their patent-pending, injection molded projectile designs that function as well or better than conventional lead-core projectiles.  The Avient team used their extensive knowledge and experience working with high-density polymers to develop a specialized Gravi-Tech™ high-density polymer composite that met PolyCase’s needs and fit the profile of their proprietary injection molding process.
