A technical support team at Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and overmolding onto the rigid substrate. Avient and the manufacturer conducted a series of molding trials to establish proper part performance, and the teams also coordinated sales, engineering and technical support in tandem. Reduce friction, noise, vibration and heat buildup with these wear-resistant formulations

In both cases, our experts helped innovative customers replace metal with specialty polymer formulations that can conduct heat, provide electrical insulation, or conduct electricity,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe for PolyOne.

The broad range of Silcosperse™ additives includes heat stabilizers, laser marking solutions, mold release agents and cost-efficient solutions for thermal management, among other highly effective technologies.

The material features good impact strength, elevated heat deflection, corrosion resistance, and a broad modulus range from flexible to rigid. Conductive, Signal & Radiation Shielding Formulations The design and lightweighting benefits of thermoplastics with the conductive performance of metal

Engineered polymers can be designed with specific thermal properties, possessing either excellent thermal conductivity or enabling efficient heat dissipation from the battery cells. Thermally conductive formulations can also be electrically isolative or conductive, combining thermal performance with protection from electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference, depending on the needs of the specific component.
