INTRODUCTION
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
When properly selected, overmolded TPEs will form a strong bond (a cohesive
bond) with the thermoplastic substrate without the need for primers or adhesives.

The Board believes that risk management is not only
understanding the risks we face and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also
understanding what level of risk is appropriate for Avient overall.

Stop thinking one-for-one: Rather than looking for materials that can replace a metal part using the identical geometry, designers are now capitalizing on the additional freedom to form plastics into net shapes.
Polymers are formed differently and have inherent properties that are optimized by using best practices for their design.
Investigate processes that enable plastics and metal to be formed together, including insert molding and heat staking.

Pultrusion is the process of impregnating and curing fibers in a resin system to form a rigid rod.
The fibers are guided through tooling, formed into the desired shape and diameter, then cured.
Resin impregnated fibers are chemically cured with thermal or ultraviolet energy to form a highly crosslinked thermoset matrix.

Semi-crystalline material
will not have time to form many crystals and
thus be clearer.

What performance factors drive your preference for aluminum or steel in part design?
Plastics inherently resist corrosion, eliminating concerns about rust and other forms of oxidation that can compromise metal components.
In addition, long fibers form a “3D network” within a molded part; this network supports parts even when a polymer begins to soften (creep), meaning LFTs are an excellent replacement for metal components in portions of the vehicle subject to high stress from extreme temperatures or pressure.
