When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and virtually seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS). Impactful Color: TPEs can be customized with bright colors and special effects such as glimmers, sparkles and pearlescents, as well as shine levels such as eye-catching high gloss, which conveys a high-tech, high-fashion aesthetic. TPEs play an important role in this evolution by enabling designers to add ergonomic grips in appealing textures and colors.

Launching today are reSound R VX TPEs, reSound R ND polyamides, and reSound R PC polycarbonates. Recycled-content polycarbonates For the Asia market, Avient now offers reSound R PC, a range of polycarbonates with glass filler levels from 10 to 30 percent and recycled content ranging from 25 to 75 percent.

Specialized chemistries enable TPEs to adhere to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide, and polystyrene, for a seamless and permanent bond. Texture, Color, and Special Effects TPEs are available in a wide array of colors and effects that can amplify their sensory qualities and contribute to brand identity and shelf appeal.

The new formulations are Avient’s first PCR-containing TPE technology developed primarily for overmolding polycarbonate (PC), acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS blends in applications from consumer electronics, cosmetics packaging, and personal care items to power tools and toys. Avient is also working to extend the portfolio with customized grades to meet specific application needs like color, hardness, and required recycled content percentage.
