They are formulated with bio-based polymers and pre-tested raw materials to help reduce carbon footprint and mitigate the risk of non-compliance during regulatory submission.

Fluoropolymers typically have non-stick properties that make it difficult for ink to adhere to the substrate.

Thermoplastic elastomers for a non-slip grip and soft touch feel

Compared to rubber and silicone alternatives, they simplify manufacturing with single-step fabrication, reducing the energy used in production, and can be overmolded directly onto a range of non-polar polymer substrates including PP and PE.  

The PCR grade is formulated with recycled ocean plastics from Oceanworks®, an accelerator program participant within the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, a non-profit group that includes Avient as a founding member.

Specifically developed for customers who want to enhance the sustainability of their general-purpose applications, the grades can be used for colored overmolded components in consumer electronics, caps and closures for non-food applications, product grips for razors and personal care products, handles for bicycles and power tools, and other overmolding applications. 

Avient’s unique formulation expertise allows the supply of reprocessed, high-quality, non-toxic PVB to be upcycled into more sustainable TPEs with excellent properties.

According to the DEVCOM Soldier Center, there is an urgent need to move toward non-PFAS alternatives within the personal protection industry.
