 THE PROBLEM

## What Slows Injection Molders Down

### Material Sourcing Bottlenecks

Customer specs a material you can't source quickly — and the project timeline doesn't wait. Delays in finding the right plastic resin cost you jobs and credibility.

### Slow RFQ Process

Time-consuming RFQ process — emailing multiple plastic resin distributors and waiting days for responses. Every day without a quote is a day your machine sits idle.

### Price Volatility, Limited Options

Resin price volatility and limited supplier options leave you with little leverage and fewer alternatives. You end up paying more or compromising on material quality.

 HERMAN AI

## Find Resin Alternatives When You Need Them Most

A customer specs a resin that's backordered, discontinued, or over budget. Instead of spending hours calling distributors, ask Herman: "Find me an alternative to Celanese Celanex 2302 that matches the same HDT and tensile strength for an automotive connector." Herman searches 45,000+ materials and returns viable alternatives with property comparisons — in seconds, not days.

- Match by mechanical, thermal, or chemical properties
- Filter by manufacturer, price range, or availability
- Compare alternatives side-by-side before recommending to your customer
- Maintain spec compliance while expanding your sourcing options
