Rigid thermoplastics include both commodity thermoplastics and engineering thermoplastics, such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polycarbonate (PC), acrynitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO), polyamide (PA), PC/ABS blend and PPO/PS blend etc.. Figure 1 shows the surface energy match of various thermoplastic elastomers with rigid thermoplastics. Novel TPE materials that can overmold onto various engineering plastics also were reported elsewhere (2-4).

As part of our engagement, Avient is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW), which is a consortium of nearly 30 companies that have pledged $1.5B to help clean up plastic waste. And sustainability is an integral part of our innovation strategy. From lightweighting to renewable energy applications to improved recyclability, Avient has a robust portfolio of sustainable solutions.

Compact cars need to keep a lower price point, yet the auto industry’s exacting safety standards for interior materials – and the OEM’s own commitment to quality for discerning customers – meant the design team would be challenged to find a suitable material for interior surfaces.  Improved quality and reduced waste: It eliminated uneven quality and high scrap rates that were inherent to working with fabric-covered parts.

Engineers wanted to push the envelope even further. These two properties are critical for underbody automotive parts such as cradle braces. The composite parts held up well, and passed stringent standards for long-term performance.
