Introduction to TPEs that universally bond to non-polar substrates such as polypropylene

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.

While parts molded in non-fluorinated LubriOne can remain lubricated for their useful life, they can also be recycled in PFAS-free material streams after use.  

Not only does it improve the recyclability and quality of PET packaging, but it also reduces risk relative to regulatory compliance and migration of the active AA scavenging component and non-intentionally added substance (NIAS) species often associated with other types of AA scavengers.

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

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. 

Formulated with pre-tested raw materials, this range of additives helps enhance the performance and functionality of plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.
