Both injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored. 

The new Gravi-Tech grades are available in polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), or nylon 6 (PA6) formulations that have densities similar to traditional metals.

They are easily colorable, suitable for injection molding and overmolding onto polypropylene (PP) substrates, and available globally. 

While polypropylene (PP) is widely accepted in the packaging industry, it has higher shrinkage rates than ABS, making it challenging to use as a direct replacement for existing molds.  

Reinforced Polyolefins for Automotive: Maxxam™ LO low odor talc-filled polypropylenes and Maxxam™ XST thermoplastic olefins are the latest additions to a complete line of specially formulated polyolefins.

If local and regional customers require, these Complēt and OnForce formulations can be tailored to meet specific application requirements by utilizing a range of engineering resins, from polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) to polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polyphthalamide (PPA) for power tools, sports equipment, utility vehicle, furniture, and outdoor recreation applications.

Avient will also feature the latest Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions from its portfolio, with a new standard color range centered on bio-based polypropylene (bio-PP).

Recycled-content TPEs and polyamides Available in North America, injection-moldable reSound R VX TPEs utilize 25 percent (PCR) and up to 40 percent (PIR) recycled content, and both grades can be overmolded onto polypropylene (PP).

These solutions are made with bio-derived polymers, including polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and styrenics, with bio-derived content ranging from 70% to 100%.
