THE IMPACT Avient was able to offer on-site support to the molder for trials using Excelite IM. Of greatest impact was a reduction in cycle time by an impressive 20%, while CFA use-rate dropped by 80%.

ELECTRONICS BRAND P O R T A B L E S P E A K E R W E I G H T E D C O M P O N E N T • Ensures quality sound performance • Injection molding capabilities for design flexibility • Impact protection within a set temperature range • Meets target density 3.0g/cm3 and product weight 400g • Reduced scrap and improved product manufacturability, compared to metal, with an injection molded formulation • Met strict testing requirements, including achieving desired impact protection performance at the specific temperature range and target weight • Maintained depth of base sound Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulation KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

Polymer solutions for creating impact on the shelf and performance in the bath and shower.

And we did so while also yielding sustainable benefits in each of the eight key areas where our material science can have the most impact.

For example, you could find that one design achieves a certain percent more in performance than another design, such as in impact resistance or strength.

Using two-shot or insert molding, the material bonds tightly without adhesives to most standard nylons, as well as heat-stabilized, lubricated, glass-filled and impact-modified versions.

Compared to other natural fiber reinforced solutions, reSound NF materials offer mechanical property improvements of more than 20% for tensile and flexural properties, 10°C to 20°C higher heat deflection temperature, and an increase of more than 50% in impact strength.

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which went into effect February 10, 2009, is a sweeping new law that impacts a broad spectrum of our economy.
