CHICAGO – At PACK EXPO International 2016 next week, PolyOne is helping brand owners to reach seemingly separate goals – recyclability, functionality and aesthetics – with a single solution: the diverse portfolio of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for packaging.  Our soft-touch TPEs have been developed to play a key role in the success of consumer products and packaging,” said Michelle Hearn, marketing director, GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers at PolyOne. TPEs are also compatible with most municipal recycling streams.

Thermoplastic Elastomers Knowledge Base Styrenic block copolymer (SBC) elastomers are some of the most versatile and easily processed materials in the plastics industry. As the industry leader in soft tactile grip thermoplastic elastomers, GLS can suggest the right hardness to meet your most demanding applications.

To enhance the performance in the end use application and marketability of such consumer products the use of a thermoplastic elastomers as an overmold, onto the engineering plastic has continued to grow. This is achieved by molding a soft skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic. We have modified ASTM D903 method for plastics to evaluate the adhesion of soft TPE onto rigid thermoplastic.
