TPEs were determined to be most susceptible to microbial attack under the appropriate environmental conditions. These results made TPEs an attractive candidate for modification with antimicrobial additives for the preser- vation of the TPEs in their end product use and for fur- ther efficacy studies. All samples were tested in duplicate (n = 2); the bar graph represents the average, and the open circles represent the log10-transformed raw data.

Homepage // News Center // Avient Expands Launch of New Recycled TPE Grades to Asia to Support Greater Use of Recycled Materials in Automotive Vehicles Avient expands its recently launched reSound™ REC TPE AF 7210 grades to Asia, offering a range of PCR-based solutions for overmolding PP in demanding automotive applications. Our new reSound REC AF 7210 TPE series responds to this trend and addresses upcoming regulatory changes in export markets, such as the European Union, where a newly proposed ELV directive requires high recycle contents for plastic components.
