The customized TPE offered excellent hydrophobic
qualities and similar melt strength to PP while
still maintaining its key mechanical properties.
Ultimately, Avient customized a GLS™ wet grip TPE
that outmaneuvered traditional materials—delivering
dynamic hydrophobic performance, translucent
aesthetics, non-abrasive comfort grip, and excellent
UV protection.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN
reSound™ BIO Thermoplastic Elastomers
Customizable Bio-based TPEs
reSound™ BIO TPEs are formulated utilizing between
35 and 60 percent bio-renewable content.
Initially available in overmolding grades compatible
with PP, all grades are formulated to achieve
comparable performance to traditional TPEs.
This expertise enables brands to meet sustainability
goals while maintaining the mechanical properties
of traditional TPEs.

Versaflex™ TF Adhesive Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs)
for Textile Fabrics
As consumers are becoming more health-
conscious, there’s a steady increase in the demand
for functional, lightweight, and comfortable fitness
clothing that is also visually appealing.
Compared to
TPU adhesive films and traditional glue, these new
TPE solutions can deliver a seamless and strong
adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics, enabiling
a uniform thickness and overall appearance for an
athletic, close-fitting, and non-bruising finish.
Versaflex TF Adhesive TPEs offer easy processing
and shaping, and can also be custom-colored
and cost-efficiently laser-cut.

Using phase barriers made of Avient’s OnFlex™ S HF, HF 7001, and Synprene or Synprene™ RT
thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) will help you deliver on that promise.
Easier to install – Our TPEs are more flexible than
nylon and flexible PVC, which makes the MCCB
easier to install, service and inspect.
Low moisture absorption – While nylon is water-
absorbent and loses dielectric performance in the
presence of excessive water, our TPEs exhibit low
moisture absorption and maintain the necessary
dielectric properties over the MCCB’s service life.

TPES FOR COSMETIC
PACKAGING
Functionality and differentiation are key when designing cosmetic packaging.
Ability to add surface texture – Our injection
molded TPEs are easily processed in commonly
used, complex molds.
Simpler production process – Overmolding
Versaflex PKG TPEs is an effective method for
simplifying a two-step process into a single step
