TPEs: The Basics PET Water Bottles can be recycled in a closed loop The goal of a circular economy is to minimize waste and make the most of available resources to create a world that is restorative and regenerative by design.

Our TPE solutions add soft touch elements that provide better grip and ergonomics to enhance consumer experience when opening and dispensing your product. Protect your sensitive sun care formulas with UV additives, and keep your actuator buttons performing longer with chemically resistant TPE materials.

There are a variety of Avient TPEs designed to have excellent adhesion to a number of rigid plastic substrates for overmolding. If you do not see your substrate in this page, please contact us directly; we can develop a custom overmolding TPE that is optimized to bond to your specific substrate.

Airtight housings are molded from Maxxam™ FR non-halogenated flame retardant polymers and overmolded with OnFlex™ non-halogenated, flame-retardant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). The OnFlex TPE material serves as an impermeable elastic membrane, reducing air leakage by 95 percent compared to standard electrical installation boxes, and leads to energy savings for Schneider’s customers.

The new device utilizes PolyOne's soft-touch GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material that provides smooth, silky texture for comfort. PolyOne's specialty TPE and colorant solutions stand up to the demands of active kids during outdoor play and sports, staying bright and maintaining material performance attributes.

This next generation thermoplastic technology bridges the historic gap in performance between TPEs and silicone, opening up abundant application opportunities,” said Jean-Paul Scheepens, general manager, Americas, Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne.

reSound™ R post-industrial recycle (PIR) and post-consumer recycle (PCR) TPEs help brand owners create sustainable end-user products. Formulated to achieve 62 percent recycled content, this high-performance TPE enabled BIC to create products that live up to its sustainability promises. These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored.

reSound™ R VX TPEs TPEs formulated with up to 40% PIR or 25% PCR content using recycled ocean plastics from Oceanworks®. Additionally, these TPEs reduce VOCs, fogging and odor for vehicle interiors. These TPE grades, formulated for consumer applications, can be used in personal care products, lawn and garden tools, outdoor goods, office supplies, footwear, and houseware durables.
