OnFlex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers Solutions for Automotive Applications To keep up with industry demands, regulatory challenges and end-user preferences, it’s imperative to consider the influence of material specifications at the beginning of the product development cycle. Known for offering tight seals and reducing vibration and noise, certain thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), like OnFlex™ grades, may be better suited for your particular application than the historically incumbent materials, like general purpose TPEs, thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV), and thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO).

Thermoplastic Elastomers Knowledge Base The most commonly GLS recommended color concentrates are based on polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).

These voids eventually grow larger with aligned polymer fibrils extending between them (Figure 1), which manifests as a series of fine cracks or “crazes” in a planar array normal to the stress.4,5 The crazes continue to propagate and eventually rupture, leading to cracking and further stress concentration that inevitably causes brittle failure. In this study, Avient’s Trilliant™ HC8900 and Edgetek™ ET8900 thermoplastics were tested alongside competitive materials used for various medical and consumer device enclosures.
