Christoph Wallner (Unit Head, DENSO Europe), throughout the challenging development and fine tuning of the formulation.

Plastic parts in the passenger compartment develop electric charges as people get in and out of the vehicle and air circulates through the ventilating/air conditioning system. Cesa Stat Antistatic Additives for automotive can support customers with electrostatic decay time testing according to Standard DIN EN 61340-2-1 to speed up the development.

Because every pound of scrap can lead to higher costs and the potential loss of hard-earned customers, the Avient team worked overtime to develop a formulation that could be easily integrated into the manufacturer’s production lines. With the help of Avient’s color design service, the company was able to develop new product lines that paved the way for additional revenue from new and existing customers.

To help address these challenges, Avient teamed up with a leading technology development company. THE SOLUTION Avient worked with the company to develop a novel reinforcement material comprised of Avient Fiber-Line™ carbon fiber tows in which the filaments were manipulated to increase strength and improve abrasion resistance.
