VALUE SOLUTION
Improve quality, reduce weight and lower
manufacturing costs with CRTM panels
Sandwich panels manufactured with the CRTM
automated pultrusion process demonstrate
consistent mechanical properties with superior
strength, and are well suited for a wide variety of
applications.
The unique manufacturing process
yields uniform quality throughout the panel,
ensuring complete resin impregnation, high
fiber volume content, low void content, uniform
thickness, and core bonding throughout.
Unlimited lengths and
a continuous manufacturing process also provide
significant cost savings over traditional composite
panel manufacturing techniques.

The use of 2K
(two-component) molding—in which the base resin is injected
and allowed to set up for a short time, and then is overmolded
by injecting the TPE—streamlines the manufacturing process.
For this manufacturer, another appealing aspect of working
with this material was Avient’s dedicated TPE production
line in Spain, which is used solely to manufacture TPEs for
overmolding applications.
Lower system costs = higher margins: By reducing
waste from part deformation, the Avient TPE allowed the
manufacturer to leverage efficient, fast 2K molding for
system cost reduction.

Victorinox designed and manufactured
its first knives more than 130 years ago, and their pocket
knives have been officially issued to Swiss Army recruits
since 1891.
Designers conceptualized a new, larger version of the
Soldier’s model, including 10 tools, a lock blade that can
be opened with one hand and, importantly, a non-slip
handle manufactured from a combination of hard and
soft thermoplastics.
THE IMPACT
With our support, Victorinox was enabled to do what it
does best—develop and manufacture high-quality tools
that meet both military and consumer needs.

And, because TPEs can be overmolded, brand owners and packaging
manufacturers have new options for designing components that can be integrated directly into the package.
Testing is the sole responsibility of the final article manufacturer.
