Lightweighting involves removing weight without sacrificing strength or performance, which in turn, raises fuel efficiency and reduces
Lightweighting is an effective means to do this," said
Glasforms™ CRTM™ composite panels replace steel doors on railcar auto carriers, saving up to 300 lb. per railcar.

Product engineers and designers face the ongoing
challenge of optimising both design and material
selection to deliver parts for high-performing
applications.
To enhance
its ability to more accurately predict part performance,
Avient worked with Hexagon’s Digimat platform.

Solution
Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material
data based on the microstructure, tensile test data,
and micro-mechanical modelling.

its molder, who in turn contacted its long-time partners on the GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers team at Avient.
GLS recommended a Versalloy™ thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) alloy for excellent surface quality, easy processing with excellent flow, and high tear strength.

Vehicles are an integral part of our lives, serving
as both a necessary mode of transportation and a
reflection of our individuality.
The benefits
of using long fiber thermoplastic (LFT) composites
in these automotive applications to achieve these
objectives are well documented.
Engineered polymer
formulations are designed to perform in demanding
environments.
