GLS™ TPE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS CHEMICAL RESISTANT SOLUTIONS FOR COSMETIC, PERSONAL CARE AND HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING We’ve developed a line of chemical resistant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that do not discolor, etch, crack or delaminate. And, because TPEs can be overmolded, brand owners and packaging manufacturers have new options for designing components that can be integrated directly into the package. CHEMICAL RESISTANT TPEs ADD FUNCTIONALITY THAT BRINGS VALUE TO CONSUMERS • Chemical Resistance – Resists aggressive soaps, detergents, lotions, oils and solvents found in cosmetic, personal care and household products • Regulatory* – Compositionally compliant with certain FDA and REACH regulations • Value – Economical alternative to silicone and over-engineered medical grade TPEs • Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and overmolded right onto the substrate including PP, ABS, etc. • Differentiation – Add color and texture to stand out from the competition • Recyclable – TPEs are compatible with most municipal recycle streams • Global Support – Avient is a global supplier with manufacturing and technical support in Europe, Asia and North America To learn more about chemical resistant GLS TPEs for packaging, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (+1.844.428.4368).

reSound™ OM Thermoplastic Elastomers Bio-based TPEs Deliver on Performance Designed to support sustainability goals, the reSound OM TPE formulations utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane and offer hardness levels and property retention comparable to traditional petroleum-based TPEs. Available in four overmolding grades compatible with polypropylene (PP), and one grade that is suited for overmolding onto ABS, all grades are formulated for durability, delivering property retention and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs.
