KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Fabric FX can be formulated to include properties
such as UV color protection and anti-scratch
performance
• Fabric FX can be processed on standard molding
machinery
• Different matrix materials can be enhanced with
Fabric FX, including ABS, PC/ABS, PB, and unfilled
or talc-filled PP
• There is no limitation on the graining that can be
used; the fabric effect will differ depending on the
grain effect engraved in the tool
• If parts are extruded or a mold is not engraved,
final parts will have an attractive speckled
appearance, but will not be textured
TYPICAL USES
Fabric FX concentrates are suitable for any application
that could benefit from an enhanced textile-like
appearance.

CHEMICAL RESISTANT TPEs ADD FUNCTIONALITY THAT BRINGS VALUE
TO CONSUMERS
• Chemical Resistance – Resists aggressive
soaps, detergents, lotions, oils and solvents
found in cosmetic, personal care and
household products
• Regulatory* – Compositionally compliant
with certain FDA and REACH regulations
• Value – Economical alternative to silicone
and over-engineered medical grade TPEs
• Easy to Process – Can be injection molded
and overmolded right onto the substrate
including PP, ABS, etc
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-06/Infant Care Product Bulletin_Selector Guide.pdf
HOW GLS TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN INFANT CARE APPLICATIONS
• Safe to Use – Made without bisphenol A (BPA),
phthalates, or heavy metals; select grades
compliant with FDA, REACH and China GB4806
• Durable – Resists bites and tears; many are
tested and safe to use in microwaves and
dishwashers
• Comfortable – Can be overmolded to provide a
soft touch grip and customized
to specific comfort requirements including
vibration and noise reduction
• Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and
overmolded right onto a substrate including PP,
ABS, etc
