INDUSTRIAL FAN MANUFACTURER A X I A L F A N B L A D E • Replace aluminium alloy • Reduce thickness and weight of fan blade • Withstand 920 Pa of static pressure, high relative humidity (90-95%), and max temperature of 104ºF • Redesigned the 1600mm blade utilizing 3D modeling and mold flow analysis services from Avient Design • Simulated mechanical load to determine which new design would provide optimal performance • Increased strength using a carbon fiber grade, enabling injection-moldable parts and streamlined production • Reduced blade thickness to 35% of the original and blade weight from 7.71 lbs to 1.76 lbs (77% decrease) • Improved overall efficiency of fan with a thinner, lighter blade that cuts through the air Complēt Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

Traditionally, many connectors of this type are produced using liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) formulated with carbon fiber. Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector.

In addition to these high-performance characteristics, this healthcare portfolio offers a reduced carbon footprint over the product life cycle because PK production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon.

This can include increasing the percentage of post-consumer recycled content (PCR), reducing the carbon footprint during production or shipping, or improving package recyclability. These may include: • Achieve a percentage of all packaging that is reusable, recyclable or compostable • Increase the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, up to 100% • Use lightweighting or other solutions that will help reduce your carbon footprint • Replace petroleum-based materials with renewable materials such as bio-plastics Whatever your goals, we can help you achieve them with customized solutions based on a number of factors.

Helping to improve sustainability over the end- product lifecycle, Complēt PKE formulations offer a reduced carbon footprint as a result of the base resin. Producing polyketone results in 61% less carbon dioxide (CO2) than PA66 and 46% less than PA6.
