SPECIALTY ENGINEERED MATERIALS PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE The product design and material specification process can be daunting. If you don’t see what you need today, we are ready to tailor a custom formula to tackle your specific application requirements, while also offering engineering support and industrial design expertise along the way. NAME DESCRIPTION TARGET MARKETS AVAILABLE FEATURES1 OnFlex™ Part of Avient’s portfolio of specialty TPEs, OnFlex materials are designed to meet and withstand the rigor and durability of various industrial applications.

It’s integral to design as artists respond to shifts – in the economy, in politics, and especially in culture. Color Inspirations 2019+ examines the once and future progression of art and design. Artists and designers experiment with different materials to create “handmade” craft impression.

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. It required a high temperature and a strong injection pressure to bond to the acrylonitrile- butadienestyrene (ABS) substrate, which caused the resin to deform. High-end product line = competitive advantage: With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully designed and produced a new, high-end product line that compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of appearance, performance and durability

What if you could design the needed performance characteristics right into the housing rather than using conductive painting or vacuum metallization? Injection-moldable Stat-Tech™ offers the necessary shielding performance and boosts design freedom, so that more components can be housed together without cross talk. Design freedom – Stat-Tech material is injection moldable, enabling function integration and thin wall housing construction, without compromising dimensional stability.

ELAUSA ELECTRONICS V E H I C L E L I G H T H E A T S I N K • Replace aluminium to reduce part cost and weight • Maintain similar thermal transition to current material • Simplify manufacturing • Reduced part weight from 38g to 9g • Provided the required thermal efficiency through part re-design and material choice • Enabled upfront simulation data through Avient Design reducing risk of metal replacement • Simplified manufacture process to a single injection molding step Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

HVAC doors are typically produced by injection molding two parts that provide structural strength and air sealing performance. However, in this case, designers had reduced the thickness of the part wall significantly to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent. Avient engineered a new customized formulation for the part, which provided both the processability required for extremely short cycle injection-compression molding, as well as including an additive to stabilize the material when in contact with copper.

Injection molding the closure from this material, called Gravi-Tech™, would provide the look, feel and sound of metal and maintain a premium perception. Switching from metal forming to injection molding would also enable processing cost savings and expanded design freedom.
