HOW SUPPLIERS CAN HELP EVALUATE
MATERIAL TRANSITION
Successfully using composites goes beyond simply
swapping one material for another.
Our
product development engineers use an integrated
approach that considers component and tooling
design, material performance, and manufacturing
processes to maximize the benefits of a material
change and quicken your time to market.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-04/versalloy-medical-tubing-case-study.pdf
The elastomeric
material, used to overmold a cuff on the end of the
hose, demonstrated inconsistent quality and sub-par
flow properties.
The company also sought a vendor
who could provide rapid delivery and reliable material
supply to avoid production delays.
Cost savings: The hose manufacturer is saving $33,000
per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous
material.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/Replacing%2520Metal%2520with%2520Vinyl_0.pdf
Based on the requirements provided, we
recommended Geon™ M5705, a high flow
vinyl molding material for outdoor use.
The results of the
evaluation gave Smart Hero the confidence to
replace the painted metal with Geon M5705
material.
Using Geon M5705
material for these seven colors will save an
additional $200,000 per year.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-05/LFT Application Development Center Bulletin.pdf
Material selection is a crucial step in any new product development project, but
that is just the beginning.
However, to ensure your material performs as intended,
there are several technical considerations to examine.
This involves
considerations with industrial design, material
selection, simulation results, and optimization of the
overall design as you learn to leverage the unique
capabilities of the LFT material.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-07/Composite Heat Release Technology Product Bulletin.pdf
Higher
density materials absorb more energy than lower
densities, so materials like steel have higher thermal
conductivity
than less-dense
ceramics.
Materials exhibiting lower thermal inertia cool
faster due to less resistance in releasing heat from
the material into the air.
Higher density materials
typically have higher thermal inertia, or cool more
slowly, than lower density materials.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN
PREPERM™ and Edgetek™ Low-Loss Dielectric Thermoplastics
The PREPERM™ and Edgetek™ dielectric portfolios
have been specially formulated to meet application
demands for materials that enable faster and more
reliable connections at high-band 5G frequencies
(mmWave).
With a dielectric constant (Dk) range
spanning 2.55 to 23, these materials are optimized
to boost antenna efficiency and deliver lightweight
solutions for 5G infrastructure and devices.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

In sourcing its own raw materials and in distributing products
manufactured by others, Avient is required to meet the specifications prescribed by its customers.
Our total raw material and
packaging spend for 2023 was ~$21 Million.
Avient currently does not require direct suppliers to
certify that the materials incorporated into their product comply with the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking.
