Smarter Materials™ High Performance Thermoplastics: eBook Learn about high-performance thermoplastics that surpass commodity and engineering resins

Thermoplastic Elastomers Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR) are now the materials of choice by product designers across countless industries and applications.

But because ADAS housing applications are typically convection limited, custom formulated thermoplastics can do the job of dissipating heat exceptionally well. Damage from static electricity – Your electronics need protection from static buildup – specialty thermoplastics can be formulated to do a better job of dissipating unwanted static and therefore minimize the potential for damage to nearby electrical components.

Avient’s new reSound™ REC thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) incorporate recycled content from polyvinyl butyral (PVB) recycled from broken vehicle windshields and laminated architectural glass to support a circular economy. STUTTGART, Germany – June 21, 2022 – At The Battery Show Europe next week, Avient Corporation is introducing two new grades within the reSound™ REC thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio. To address this issue, Shark Solutions, a Danish clean technology company, recycles automotive windshields and architectural glass to extract PVB, a thermoplastic used as an interlayer in the laminated glass panels.

With its advanced thermoplastic composites, OEMs are successfully incorporating our thermoplastic composite technology and gaining value from our design expertise at every step of the product development cycle," said Advanced Composites portfolio offers both thermoplastic and thermoset composite solutions with exceptional strength-to-weight ratios.

The initiative, sponsored by Avient Design, a highly specialized group of industrial designers and project engineers at Avient Corporation, began in September 2024, focusing on mentoring students in designing with Avient’s Polystrand™ thermoplastic composite materials, leading to the development of a range of innovative and practical product concepts. The six-week project is aimed to harness the distinctive properties of Avient’s Polystrand thermoplastic composites, including their strength, durability, and lightweight characteristics, to create cutting-edge designs for the sporting goods industry. The final presentations showcased a diverse array of innovative product concepts that effectively leveraged the properties of Polystrand continuous glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites.

Thermoplastics offer versatility and a POLYONE CORPORATION wide range of applications. Further performance can be delivered through an engineered thermoplastic sheet or thick film, which may incorporate more than one resin formulation or composite in multiple layers to impart additional properties such as gas barrier, structural integrity and lightweighting.
