Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents are commonly used in consumer goods and automotive components to reduce part weight without compromising stiffness or mechanical properties. Recently developed Avient technology yields foam with smaller and more uniform cells so that processors can use 10-20% less plastic to create components that are visually identical to heavier, solid-walled parts. Avient’s Foaming Prediction Service uses 3D simulation software to help predict weight reduction, cycle time, and the mechanical properties of automotive parts foamed with Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents.

The PCF value of the TPEs was calculated using the ISO 14067:2018 standard and may be used as an input to determine the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by a product over its entire life cycle.   These naturally opaque grades provide an appealing aesthetic that is also easy to color, making them ideal for use in a host of consumer applications where a more sustainable material is preferred.   Tap into our Idea Center for inspiration on using TPEs to enhance your products.

PREPERM™ materials can be used in automotive radar antenna covers, radomes, emblems and bumper windows to provide longer beam length and wider beam scanning angles compared to alternative materials. Ultra-low loss PREPERM™ materials can also be used in industrial radars for different types of level detection applications such as those used in the process industry, silos and automated warehouses. These solutions are also suitable for use in industrial machinery, consumer electronics (gesture recognition), rain droplet analyzers and for applications identifying moving crowds in different surroundings.
