Guided by their initiative to develop capabilities that provide additional protection for soldiers while reducing time and logistic requirements,1 the U.S. Army Corps Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Survivability Engineering Branch enlisted the expertise of Edwards Design and Fabrication, an Alabama-based equipment fabricator for commercial and government research and development organizations. Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic- resistant panels that were not only compatible with the required hardware but also met color requirements for better visual cover once deployed.

As suppliers of these materials continue to develop innovations in chemistry and capabilities, the appeal of both TPEs and LSR will grow even stronger. $15B Source: Statista, National Sporting Goods Association BY THE NUMBERS Your product or part may call for a design that features both thick and thin walls, complex shapes or intricate details.

Designers for consumer products are setting the pace for material developers to provide solutions that offer a combination of aesthetically pleasing look and feel along with demanding end-use functional performance. The TPE compounds developed at GLS bridge the gap of the above chemistries and offer solutions to customers with adhesion requirements for substrates ranging from Polypropylene to Polyamide which represent the opposite spectrum of polarity. From a marketing perspective, these compounds are ideally suited for a variety of consumer product applications including hand & power tools, business machines and hand-held electronics, personal care items, appliances, and sports & leisure.

THE CHALLENGE From snowboards and bindings to clothing and video production, the team at Rome Snowboards merges the thrill of the ride with the business of making snowboarding gear.

THE CHALLENGE A global manufacturer of water storage, purification, and treatment equipment, had a serious challenge to solve: counterfeiters were harming its business.

A new class of TPEs has been developed with the ability to bond to dissimilar thermoplastics, including PP, copolyester, ABS etc. Experimental Material Two classes of “universal overmolding TPEs” have been developed and used in this study. Conclusion Two classes of TPE formulations have been developed and studied for rigid thermoplastics overmolding applications.
