Edgetek™ Glass-Filled Thermoplastics provided toughness and stiffness to fishing rod handle The lower extractable profile of Versaflex™ HC BT218 thermoplastic elastomer provided a drop-in material replacement with excellent clarity and performance for a medical tubing extruder Trilliant™ HC8900 thermoplastics delivered superior chemical resistance after exposure to hospital-grade disinfectants

During development and prototyping, the engineers used an SBS-type elastomer for this critical component – but they hadn’t settled on materials for mass production. The shell would be made with a custom-formulated Synprene™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) blend that provides resistance to most common medications and is flexible enough for the fins to work as designed.

CLEVELAND – March 28, 2022 – Avient today announced a new reSound™ REC thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) formulation for use in certain food-contact applications.

Thermoplastic Elastomers Knowledge Base Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) If we’re being nuanced, thermoplastic elastomers don’t technically melt.

Processing & Design Guide: Polystrand™ Thermoplastic Composites Recommendations & key considerations for processing and part design with continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics Versaflex™ Thermoplastic Elastomer developed a TPE solution with consistent quality that met tight durometer specifications and improved yield

GLS™ Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomer: •    Gives OEMs the design freedom to make their own syringe stoppers and improve manufacturing processes versus traditional thermoset rubber stoppers •    Simple, one-step injection molding process versus multiple steps with thermoset rubber  •    Streamlines production while increasing margins and profitability Trilliant™ HC Thermoplastics: •    High-performance formulations with excellent chemical resistance and durability for medical device enclosures  •    Available in standard grades, or can be custom formulated from an array of base polymers to meet performance and aesthetic targets   NEU™ Specialty Thermoplastic Polyurethane:  •    Formulated to combine elasticity with abrasion and tear resistance for catheter tubing and tips •    Specification processing assists OEMs and processors in delivering solutions that match formulary requirements

Avient’s new reSound™ REC thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) incorporate recycled content from polyvinyl butyral (PVB) recycled from broken vehicle windshields and laminated architectural glass to support a circular economy. STUTTGART, Germany – June 21, 2022 – At The Battery Show Europe next week, Avient Corporation is introducing two new grades within the reSound™ REC thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio. To address this issue, Shark Solutions, a Danish clean technology company, recycles automotive windshields and architectural glass to extract PVB, a thermoplastic used as an interlayer in the laminated glass panels.

There’s a way to check all of these boxes at once by adding a soft-touch, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) grip.
