Evaluating the Replacement of Aluminum with Long Fiber Composites Key Factors for Making an Informed Decision As costs and competition increase, many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are exploring ways to maintain profit margins. This processing method can also streamline manufacturing steps, reduce shipping costs, and increase productivity rates. Our product development engineers use an integrated approach that considers component and tooling design, material performance, and manufacturing processes to maximize the benefits of a material change and quicken your time to market.

§ 1307), ILO Forced Labor Convention (No. 29) and the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention (No. 105), in the mining, production, manufacture or supply of any goods (which includes both raw materials and manufactured goods) or services for Avient, nor, in connection with its supply to Avient, will Supplier procure merchandise from any sub-supplier that was mined, produced, or manufactured, in whole or in part, using forced labor.

Manufacturing Ease - ECCOH XL 8148 solutions enable fast processing speeds compared to alternatives and can be extruded using existing machinery. The opportunity to use these solutions for both insulation and jacketing can further improve and speed up the manufacturing process.

They looked to the engineering team at Avient for material selection and manufacturing guidance. Avient’s team of engineers was very helpful in determining the right materials and refining our manufacturing process,” said Josh Caputo, president and CEO of Humotech.

Finally, with headquarters, manufacturing sites, and engineers spanning the globe, it was important that the collaborator DENSO selected could operate internationally as well as on a local scale. THE SOLUTION With its global footprint, Avient was able to work with DENSO both in initial trials in Japan as well as locally at a manufacturing facility in Europe.

Adding an anti-fog solution to a film recipe delivers value to brand owners and film manufacturers in multiple ways: Reduces operating cost: Anti-fog additives are a drop-in solution. Film manufacturers don’t need to add a secondary process to achieve anti-fog properties.
