MATERIAL BREAKTHROUGH: VERSAFLEX™ CE BLUE JEAN STAIN RESISTANT TPES FOR WHITE OR LIGHT-COLORED PHONE CASES Phone case brands have struggled to design white or light-colored cases that do not stain when in contact with blue jeans. Avient has formulated a new material that offers blue jean stain resistance similar to that of silicone*, yet with all the benefits of using a TPE: increased design freedom, an efficient supply chain leading to faster speed to market, and lower total part costs.

Digimat for long fibre reinforced materials Advanced simulation captures part performance for fibre reinforced thermoplastics Comparing the results of isotropic material data to anisotropic material data Case study https://hexagon.com/ Figure 2: Digimat material model workflow when coupled with an FEA solver Manufacturing Intelligence hexagonmi.com2 Solution Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material data based on the microstructure, tensile test data, and micro-mechanical modelling.

We apply the technology and performance benefits of long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites to make your products better – giving you an unbeatable marketplace advantage. 

Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

The new formulations can use varying levels for post-industrial recycled content – from 25% to 100% recycled content for polyamide 66 (PA66) and from 25% to 75% recycled content for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).

These cost-effective thermoplastics provide LED manufacturers with an alternative to traditional polymers with no tradeoffs in performance.

Trilliant™ HC Thermoplastics: High-performance formulations with excellent chemical resistance and durability for medical device enclosures; available in standard grades or customized formulations from an array of base polymers 

Ranging from non-halogen, low smoke, and high temperature thermoplastics to inherently flame-resistant vinyl and specialty colorants and additives, the PolyOne portfolio is designed to comply with diverse global regulatory specifications for safety and performance.

These new grades are developed to enhance the performance of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film-laminated products and devices in applications where combating microbe development is highly important.
