Until now, silicone was the only proven material that was resistant to staining, but silicone produces a long list of challenges to phone case brands: lengthy lead times, supply chain issues, and manufacturing complexities. Avient has formulated a new material that offers blue jean stain resistance similar to that of silicone*, yet with all the benefits of using a TPE: increased design freedom, an efficient supply chain leading to faster speed to market, and lower total part costs.
