Avient Corporation presented its latest technologies and innovations for transportation, including two presentations at the Plastics in Automotive Engineering (PIAE) Conference from 19-20 June, 2024.
Offering Solutions with Greater Use of Recycled Materials
Avient presented two papers at the conference:
The first, titled
Lightweight Design Innovation: A Case Study of 20% Weight and CO
2 Emission Reduction in Door Panels, offers insights into achievable weight and CO
2 reductions using Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents in collaboration with tier-one supplier Antolin.
This also highlights Avient’s new Foaming Prediction Service, which helps predict the behavior and maximum weight reduction of foamed parts, reducing the need for physical trials and testing.
The second presentation, titled Management of Vehicle Indoor Air Quality with Sustainable Polymer Additive Solutions, discusses developing a range of emission and VOC-controlling technologies that can reduce undesirable material emissions, increasing safety and comfort. This can enable an increase in the amount of recycled content used in vehicle interior components, improving sustainability.
The two-day conference, which takes place at the Rosengarten Center in Mannheim, brings together global automotive plastics experts interested in using plastics in interior, exterior, and under-the-hood vehicle applications.
As a longstanding provider of polymer solutions to the automotive industry, Avient is focused on supporting original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and tier-one suppliers in reaching their sustainability goals. Avient does this by offering a multitude of solutions, including those that can enable greater use of recycled materials, such as its award-winning Color Prediction Service, and
lightweighting solutions, such as Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents.
