Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are an excellent solution.

Our thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are designed to suit both consumer desires and product needs, including softness, vivid color or extreme clarity, and robust physical properties.

Improve processability and reduce overall processing time – TPEs are easier to process than EPDM rubber and do not require drying like thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV), leading to a decrease in processing time and costs. www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Now the benefits of thermoplastic materials are available also for the applications traditionally produced from ceramics or thermoset plastic materials. • Part weight reduction • Low loss tangent • RoHS & REACH compliant solution • Halogen- and heavy metal-free solution • Recyclable Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

Versaflex™ XP Wet Grip Thermoplastic Elastomer Typically, when TPEs get wet, the kinetic coefficient of friction (COF) performance is worse, resulting in a slippery surface.
