To support these device needs, Avient developed the NEUSoft™ Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPUs) product line for in-vivo applications in standard and customizable grades. For time-sensitive development projects, our NEUSoft Express offerings come in 14 standard colors, in neat or 20% barium sulfate-filled formulations, with a planned 14-day lead time to assist in accelerating your R&D process.

The challenge was to develop a solution that would maintain grip when wet, be non-abrasive to the skin, stand up to UV, allow good adherence to and visibility of the board— all the while, staying true to SurfCo’s roots in both safety and performance. THE SOLUTION Working collaboratively with SurfCo and its manufacturer and processor, Avient set to work on developing a polymeric, wet grip technology.

Developed to support growing sustainability goals, these bio- polymers offer hardness levels from 30-70 Shore A and property retention comparable to traditional petroleum-based TPEs. Avient can also develop custom bio-based formulations that expand on the initial reSound BIO portfolio.

So HIVIZ product development engineers aimed their sights on recoil reduction technology for a major high-end rifle manufacturer, and it was game on. To develop a high-end version with additional features, the design team was seeking a new material.
