Engineered Polymer Formulations | Transportation But because ADAS housing applications are typically convection limited, custom formulated thermoplastics can do the job of dissipating heat exceptionally well. Weight, weight, weight – Engineered polymers can be formulated to provide excellent thermal management, static dissipation and EMI/RFI shielding performance for your ADAS housing at a lighter weight than aluminum. 

The major types of thermoplastics include polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester and a range of specialized engineering resins. Further performance can be delivered through an engineered thermoplastic sheet or thick film, which may incorporate more than one resin formulation or composite in multiple layers to impart additional properties such as gas barrier, structural integrity and lightweighting. Our technical and market expertise enables us to expand the performance range and structural properties of traditional engineering-grade thermoplastic resins to meet evolving customer needs.

This material, also known as a thermoplastic elastomer, has a soft, grippy feel and is highly colorable. Last year, we committed to using 50 percent of non-virgin petroleum plastic for our products by 2030, part of our long-term commitment to reduce our environmental impact. The Company is listed on “Euronext Paris,” is part of the SBF120 and CAC Mid 60 indexes and is recognized for its commitment to sustainable development and education.

Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations: two new super tough PA6 and PA66 grades added to Avient’s recycled content portfolio, each containing post-industrial recycled content, resulting in up to 81% lower cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint than traditional alternatives made without recycled content, and will be presented during Avient’s technical seminar at NPE, “Exploring Sustainable Alternatives to Traditional Polyamides,” by Jeremy Gray, Application Development and Technical Service Engineer, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient, on May 9 at 11 a.m. Elvis Cudjoe, Senior R&D Engineer at Avient, on Monday, May 7, at 2 p.m. and Wednesday, May 8, at 3 p.m. Lightweighting Applications: Exploring the potential of foaming techniques and polymer substitutions to reduce weight and enhance efficiency, thus replacing traditional metal components
