Additional weight, manufacturing challenges and ultimately, higher costs. Its thermally conductive properties allow for effective heat management, but material and production costs can be high. Replacing aluminum heat sinks with polymer ones can greatly reduce both the total cost and weight of a part.

Supplier HellermannTyton switched to heat-stabilized Bergamid™ B70 G30H Black TM-X polyamide to produce a seat fastener at lower cost, lower weight and with greater design flexibility Avient assists in creating electronic connector for a new, low-cost computer to meet technical requirements, avoid over-engineering and meet cost-performance requirements with Bergamid™ nylon material Maxxam™ FR Polypropylene Solutions provide cost savings and improve data processing capabilities

Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) inventory reset rule.

This can lead to higher tooling costs for high-volume programs. Injection molded LFTs offer designers the flexibility to build in strength and stiffness, accommodate more complex geometries, and accomplish performance objectives at a fraction of the weight of metal. This processing method can also streamline manufacturing steps, reduce shipping costs, and increase productivity rates.

The parties agree that Seller need not further object to any specific terms and conditions set by Buyer; such failure to object to Buyer’s specific terms and conditions is not an acceptance of any such terms and conditions. If a present or future law, governmental decree, order, regulation, or ruling under any existing or future legislation prevents Seller from increasing or revising the price as provided herein, or nullifies or reduces any price or price increase hereunder, upon written notice from one to the other Seller and Buyer will attempt to identify mutually agreeable changes to conform this contract with such law, decree, order, regulation, or ruling. Except to the extent solely attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from all costs, expenses, damages, judgments or other loss, including without limitation costs of investigation, litigation and reasonable attorney’s fees (“Buyer Indemnity Costs”), arising out of Buyer’s selection, use, sale or further processing of the Product or Buyer’s product made therefrom.

Reviewing the procedures associated with responsible and ethical sourcing Providing oversight of the development of compensation programs that include metrics related to ESG objectives For instance, energy costs represent a substantial part of our manufacturing costs and emerging regulation changes that counter the adverse effects of climate change can have an important impact on these costs.

That saved the company $70,000 a year in direct manufacturing costs. Reduced freight costs: The lower specific gravity of TPEs versus thermoset silicone rubber cut the overall part weight by 20 percent. That reduced associated freight costs by $36,000 a year.

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-routine costs.
