HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE FASTENERS AND CLIPS
• Low compression set – coupled with good
stress relaxation, our automotive TPEs are
designed to maintain a good seal over time and
reduce noise generated by vibration
• High temperature performance – Avient
automotive TPEs provide good sealing
performance in temperatures up to
100°C/212°F
• Bonding performance - strong chemical bond
to polypropylene, polyethylene,
and polyamide
• Process flexibility - grades can be both
injection molded and extruded
• Easy to color - can be colored at the machine
• Reduced production steps - some grades do
not require pre-drying
• Low VOC/FOG - OnFlex HT™ has been externally
tested to VDA 278 and is proven to help satisfy
vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ) regulatory
requirements
• Single source supply – we can streamline your
supply chain with the ability to provide polymer
colorants, engineered thermoplastics, and
thermoplastic elastomers from a single source
• Global support - we provide production,
technical, and commercial support in locations
convenient to your operations, including North
America, Europe, and Asia

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.
Across HVAC, interior and external automotive
applications, your products need to meet VIAQ
regulations, appeal to consumers through look
and feel, and enable long-lasting performance.

Cesa™ Stat Antistatic Additives
for automotive interiors
Plastics can attract dust particles, creating an
unattractive smudgy film on their surface.
Avient’s Cesa™ Stat Antistatic Additives for
automotive applications are permanent
masterbatches that provide an antistatic effect
to molded parts.
Cesa Stat Antistatic Additives for automotive can
support customers with electrostatic decay time
testing according to Standard DIN EN 61340-2-1
to speed up the development.
