The rapid growth of the electric vehicle (EV) industry is generating extensive research and development in battery technologies. Polymers can be molded into complex shapes, enabling the development of custom battery configurations that can fit into limited spaces. As research and development continues, we can expect further advancements in battery technologies, leading to even more efficient and sustainable electric vehicles. 

During development and prototyping, the engineers used an SBS-type elastomer for this critical component – but they hadn’t settled on materials for mass production. Better manufacturing efficiency: Cycle time for the two-part manufacturing process was 60% quicker than had been anticipated during development and production trials, and scrap rates were lower than expected; Based on reduced lead times and supply chain costs to get the same formulations from Avient’s manufacturing facilities in China, Andwin Scientific is working to develop Asian markets for the SealSafe® adapter.

These new grades of TPEs, launched earlier this year in Europe, contain 25%-55% post-consumer recycle (PCR) content, complement the existing offering of PCR-based products for polypropylene (PP) overmolding, and are specially developed for automotive interior applications such as mats, grips, and console trays. In addition, Avient can provide product carbon footprint (PCF) values for these and other products using our PCF calculator, which was developed in accordance with ISO 14067:2018 Standard and third-party certified by TÜV Rhineland.  Developed for injection molding, Avient’s new grades for PP overmolding can deliver durable primeless bonding performance and are available in natural and custom-colored grades with hardnesses from Shore 40A to 80A. 

Avient introduces new high-impact Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations, developed to replace die-cast or machined metals in premium weighted applications while offering superior design freedom, manufacturing efficiency, and sustainability. The innovative hybrid product technology is developed to replace die-cast or machined metals to deliver both the look and weighted feel of metal in premium brand high-impact applications. Developed to meet the growing demand for applications with a luxurious look but with a cost-effective alternative to metal, the new formulations pass strict drop test requirements and provide excellent low-temperature impact performance.

PolyOne developed a specific Gravi-Tech formulation that makes it possible to produce the unique geometry of the bullet while maintaining balance and weighting requirements to deliver higher velocity and more efficient energy transfer. Fifer added, “We were impressed by the innovations PolyCase has developed and incorporated into the ARX bullet technology. About PolyCase Ammunition PolyCase Ammunition develops, manufactures, markets, and sells world-class, patent pending, small arms ammunition and projectiles used by discerning professionals, law enforcement, and sports shooters.

L’Oréal recently expressed the need for a tool to help simplify the process of developing color with recycled resin. Having identified optimized colorants for the packaging of the Redken line worldwide, Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Service helped L’Oréal simplify overall color development with recycled resin. Avient’s Color Prediction Service allowed us to use local PCR grades wherever the business is – if the color is for Europe, we use the European grade,” said Chantal Nestor-Saury, product development manager at L’Oréal.

Mevopur™ Colorants represent a broad range of color concentrates and formulations, developed specifically for use in today’s complex healthcare applications, which meet or exceed requirements for regulations such as USP Class VI, ISO 10993, USP 661 and ICH Q3D. Versaflex™ HC BT218 is a medical-grade TPE developed specifically to handle the growing demand for and complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing. This service aligns material, technical, and manufacturing expertise to streamline product development and optimize supply chain and logistics.
