In the wire and cable industry, thermoplastics serve to protect by
providing electrical insulation, flame resistance, durability, water resistance and color coding to wire coatings and
connectors.
In the transportation industry, plastic has proven to be durable, lightweight and corrosion resistant while
offering fuel savings, design flexibility and high performance, often replacing traditional materials such as metal and
glass.
We believe this contract assures the availability of adequate amounts of PVC resin.

Low dielectric losses enable accurate imaging
• Good temperature resistance and minimal
water absorption
• Non-brittle material and chipping resistance
• Batch-to batch-stability
• Allows large size and complex designs
• Size reduction of components, thanks to
high Dk
PREPERM materials are a perfect fit in imaging lenses or as a
radome (protecting cover) or as a combination of these two.

HOW VERSAFLEX TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN PORTABLE SPEAKERS APPLICATIONS
GASKETS
Water and Dust Protection
- Tight housing seals with no leakage over time
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps required of
O-rings by overmolding directly onto the substrate;
strong adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Injection molding TPEs in gaskets enables
complex designs in which simple O-rings would be
challenging to assemble
SPEAKER SKINS
Durable Look and Feel
- Silky feel soft touch
- Long lasting aesthetics with abrasion and UV
resistance
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps
required of silicone skins by overmolding
directly onto the substrate; strong
adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Overmolding TPE removes the need for
mechanical interlocks and primers to get
silicone materials to adhere to substrates

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-09/Cesa Laser Marking Additives for Transportation Industry Bulletin.pdf
A laser mark lasts
the lifetime of a part; is resistant to solvents, oils,
and scratching; and is easy to read.
Our Cesa™ Laser
Marking Additives not only contain a laser marking
additive but also deliver a part’s color and can
include other additives such as those for scratch or
UV resistance.

Other requirements were abrasion resistance and
excellent aesthetics.
OnFlex-S TPEs also provide an attractive
appearance and resist scratching and marring.
Abrasion resistance = excellent appearance to uphold
corporate image: The Avient material resists scratching
and scraping that commonly occur when sprayers are
dragged along the ground or left out in all types of
weather.
