Antimicrobial and antifungal additives can protect the user interfaces and touchpoints from mold, mildew, and bacteria, while antistatic and conductive formulations can prevent static discharge and create safer, statically dissipated plastic parts.   Chemical foaming agents are successfully used in plastics to cut weight from parts without compromising mechanical properties. They are available in liquid or solid form and can result in 10-20% less plastic needed.

a leading manufacturer of food processing equipment, on converting the support yoke of its Quantum™ Motor from metal to plastic. Avient conducted virtual prototyping, such as mold filling and finite element analysis (FEA), on a redesigned yoke, while Bettcher conducted testing on a physical prototype to simulate a half million use cycles. Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.

Homepage // News Center // Orion Shines Even More Brightly with PolyOne Therma-Tech™ Conductive Polymer Replacing metal with PolyOne Therma-Tech™ conductive polymer enables Sylumis to manufacture the lamps more efficiently and with even more innovative designs. The Therma-Tech conductive formulation selected for these LED lamps outperforms aluminum, the material traditionally used in heat sinks, with a 25% increase in heat exchange surface area and a 9% reduction in weight.

Developing application-specific formulations requires experience plus a holistic understanding of the demands of end-use industries, plastics processing, and polymer science. Performance can be customized for wear-resistance, conductivity, X-ray opacity and more Handling some of the most challenging and high-performance plastic applications

Plastic parts come into play for 5G by ensuring wireless signals can easily pass through the plastic material to minimize signal loss. While rigid polymers are typically used for this because of their conductive and wireless properties, Avient has found additional value in low signal loss technology within its thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio.
