Additionally, these TPEs reduce VOCs, fogging and odor for vehicle interiors.

Product designers and manufacturers are turning to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) to replace silicone and natural rubber. VERSAFLEX™ TPEs allow manufacturers to switch to more efficient processes that eliminate the time- consuming and costly assembly operations needed for old parts. PolyOne’s Onflex™ Lo TPE and Maxxam™ engineered material formulations are used for interior HVAC air flaps, trays, console carrier and instrument panels, and related interior parts.

This includes masks, protective garments, medical tubing and packaging for personal care products. Additionally, it extends shelf life and reduces spoilage. reSound™ R VX TPEs TPEs formulated with up to 40% PIR or 25% PCR content using recycled ocean plastics from Oceanworks®. Additionally, these TPEs reduce VOCs, fogging and odor for vehicle interiors.

Recycled content TPEs for enhanced sustainability

Versaflex™ CE for 5G TPEs, providing signal transparency for mobile device accessories
