The part would remove weight and withstand copper
deposits in a luxury vehicle for an exclusive German automaker.
This additive will
protect the door from cracking as it comes into contact with copper
particles over time.

Results & benefits
Avient has applied the Digimat material model to two
different load cases, a flexural test and a tensile test.
Figure 1: Tensile test data as a function of the fibre orientation 0°
(orange), 45° (green), 90° (blue)

Figure 4: Failure location in the flexural test for the isotropic modelling
Figure 6: Failure location in the tensile test for the isotropic modelling
approach (left), Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (middle) and
reality (right)
Figure 3: Flexural test results with the isotropic modelling approach
(orange) and Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (green)
Figure 5: Tensile test results with the isotropic modelling approach
(orange) and Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (green)
Figure 5 shows the tensile test results with, again,
a convincing advantage for the Digimat anisotropic
modelling approach against the isotropic modelling
approach.
The initial
tensile test model did not capture a number of elements
through unintended movements of the testing assembly,
so the FEA model was adjusted to capture the entirety
of the test setup.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN
TEST METHOD: INDIGO STAIN RESISTANCE TEST
The same rigorous method used to test for staining on automotive interior seats, Ford Laboratory Test
Method – BN 107-01, was used.
All specimens were subjected to two tests of 100 and 500 cycles on the test label side.
You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing
to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.
