COMPOSITE BRACE SAVES WEIGHT, IMPROVES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY © 2020, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) THE CHALLENGE A major US automotive OEM makes extensive use of lightweight composites materials. They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength- to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength. The composite material used to make this part includes a custom-formulated thermoset epoxy resin, which also has good corrosion and chemical resistance.

THE CHALLENGE Vibratory conveyors are frequently used to process a variety of materials, from heavy duty powder and bulk solids to delicate berries and potato chips. Fiber reinforced composites are a popular material of choice for reliable performance, providing high flexural strength and excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and chemical exposure. Made in the USA Avient’s Gordon Composites vibratory springs are manufactured in Montrose, Colorado using materials sourced from US suppliers.

CUSTOM FORMULATION IMPROVES PRODUCTIVITY AND MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY CASE STUDY: TRILLIANT™ HC SPECIALTY ENGINEERED MATERIALS Challe nge Accepted. Avient determined that the manufacturer required a material with a unique combination of properties, including: • Processing ease – high flow rate, ability to fill multi-cavity molds, thin-wall capabilities • Superior toughness – strength and durability to ensure dimensional integrity of the part • Repeatable performance – consistent conductivity for accurate measurement of liquids While several off-the-shelf compounds were evaluated, a new formulation was developed to meet the manufacturer’s specific needs as well as provide signifi cant benefi ts in reduced cycle time, increased production and reduced scrap rate. THE IMPACT For the manufacturer, Trilliant™ HC specialty engineered materials provided a number of advantages that contributed to the success of the new product line: • Reduced Cycle Time: The high flow properties of the Trilliant HC formulation allowed the manufacturer to produce warp-free parts that require less packing and cooling time, resulting in a 40% cycle time reduction

These DBDPE-free grades satisfy regulatory and performance demands by using an alternative flame retardant while maintaining UL 44 compliance and comparable performance to traditional Syncure XLPE materials. The development of these high-performing materials grants wire and cable producers the flexibility to adapt to evolving regulations in the market.

Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives PTFE-free and Non-halogen for Polycarbonate Polycarbonate is a material of choice for E&E products as it provides very good impact strength, dimensional stability, and heat resistance.Some applications require the use of flame-retardant solutions to increase safety and ensure compliance with fire hazard standards. They also offer the ability for producers seeking more flexibility in managing plastic material inventory to store large quantities of virgin or recycled resin and order flame-retardant concentrates as needed for individual projects.

Avient not only provided suitable material, but also extended invaluable assistance to ensure a successful transition. The second-generation caster wheels developed by Frog Legs incorporate two Complēt long carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials. With an aluminum hub, the dissimilar materials never fully bond and can slip.

This laser enhancement additive works by converting visible, UV or IR laser light energy into thermal energy, creating surface marks that contrast the color of resin material. Avient has a track record of successfully collaborating with customers in developing solutions for a wide variety of applications, materials and processes.
