Developed in 45 to 55 Shore A durometers, Avient’s reSound™ REC grades are ideal for general purpose applications in the consumer and automotive industries. These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored. These reSound REC grades with PCR content offer similar performance properties to traditional TPEs and are suitable for many durable consumer products and grips—such as personal care items, lawn and garden tools, golf clubs, and footwear.

Several grades of Gravi-Tech materials used for X-ray devices provide radiation shielding performance comparable to that of lead, yet these grades are 37 percent lighter. Other radiation-shielding grades are available that match the density of lead (11 gm/cm3). Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades

New reSound OM grades address both goals by leveraging a significant amount of renewable content without compromising the material’s properties.” All grades are formulated for durability, delivering property retention and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs. In addition, the new grades feature easy colorability, a major requirement for applications such as cosmetics packaging, personal care products, and consumer electronics.

They offer a more sustainable alternative to density modified grades based on prime/virgin polymers.   Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades Provided a more sustainable solution while keeping comparable performance characteristics to the prime grade previously used

This portfolio offers a wide range of PCR and PIR grades with glass filler levels from 10 to 30%. Customized a post-consumer recycle (PCR) grade formulated with 30% recycled content that delivered similar performance to a prime PC grade Explore more sustainable materials with nylon 66 and nylon 6 grades that contain post-industrial and post-consumer recycled content

Developed as a more sustainable alternative for biopharmaceutical tubing, the initial Versaflex HC BIO BT218 grade is formulated with nearly 40% first-generation biomass content, resulting in a lower carbon footprint than traditional alternatives.   In contrast, the bio-derived grade offers greenhouse gas emissions at 2.35 kg CO2e / kg product, a nearly 25 percent lower cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint (PCF) than Avient’s standard Versaflex HC BT218 grade. Certified for USP Class VI and ISO 10993, the new Versaflex HC BIO BT218 grade is manufactured in the United States with global commercial availability.  

These expanded offerings add medical-grade LDPE, nylon, PEBA, PS and PVC to the globally available palette of specialty healthcare colorants, and are pre-certified to meet or exceed biocompatibility requirements for ISO 10993 and/or USP Class VI protocols. CAPTION: PolyOne has developed five new medical-grade polymer carriers within itsOnColor™ HC Plus portfolio. All thirteen medical-grade carrier materials in the portfolio are pre-certified to meet or exceed ISO 10993 and/or USP Class VI requirements for applications ranging from medical packaging to device housings. 

MEVOPUR medical-grade materials are produced according to ISO13485-2016 protocols and supported by testing to ISO 10993-1, USP, European Pharmacopeia and ICH Q3D guidelines. Using MEVOPUR medical grade materials can help manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging reduce the risk of regulatory non-compliance. Intended for use in polyolefins, styrenics, and copolymers, these medical-grade foaming agents are the first such additives to be produced under the MEVOPUR protocols. 

To obtain information regarding the viscosity of an individual grade, refer to the Product Technical Data Sheet. Some grades, such as OnFlex™ G7700s and G7800s, and Dynaflex™ G7900s contain filler, which reduces their shrinkage. For shrinkage values for specific grades, please refer to the product technical data sheet.
