Building on the design concept from SurfCo, Avient conducted additional R&D work to formulate a specialty thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that could be coextruded with polypropylene (PP) film and meet the high expectations of SurfCo and surfers everywhere.

The PET packaging market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing sustainability demands, higher recycling targets, and the shift away from alternative materials such as polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP).
