An infusion pump manufacturer saves $175,000 with a material switch A lot can change in 15 years. That saved the company $70,000 a year in direct manufacturing costs.

We can help you capture weight reduction savings and maximize the potential with technical, manufacturing and design support. Radiation Shielding Without Lead Reduces Costs, Environmental Impact Smart Alternative Yields Savings, Efficiency for Mars Otomotiv 

However, in this case, designers wanted to reduce the thickness of the part wall significantly to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent. Maxxam™ formulations are based on polypropylene and polyethylene resins and can be filled and reinforced to satisfy the required performance characteristic. Designers were able to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent without compromising performance.

When should I consider using TPEs? If thermoplastic elastomers can do all this, you might be asking yourself, “Is there any reason I wouldn’t want to use TPEs?” Save and share the full guide as a PDF for future reference.

With non-hazardous Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) Avient helped the customer achieve their sustainability targets through significant energy savings in production and finished part weight reduction. Added during processing, Hydrocerol is heat activated and releases gas to form a cellular foam structure, keeping the outer skin solid without voids. Every saved pound contributes to lower fuel consumption and cuts CO2 emissions.
