Smartbatch™ FX for Paint Replacement Thermoplastic Elastomers Dynaflex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers

Eliminate secondary painting or decorating processes Replace metal with thermoplastic for better tactile feel for end users (hot or cold)

Designers conceptualized a new, larger version of the Soldier’s model, including 10 tools, a lock blade that can be opened with one hand and, importantly, a non-slip handle manufactured from a combination of hard and soft thermoplastics. Avient material scientists found the perfect combination with a custom rigid nylon formulation for the handle paired with a soft GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) in the grip areas. Beyond finding the best material combination—Bergamid™ nylon copolymer and GLS™ TPEs—our global presence and expertise across an array of specialty polymers and colorants, combined with local service and support, helped Victorinox to accelerate development work, streamline production and reach their design goals.

This new technology offers enhanced color and aesthetic options with unique metallic effects, meeting the growing demands of high-performance polymer applications with a more sustainable alternative to traditional painting processes. In contrast to traditional painting processes, injection molding with metallic effect pre-colored thermoplastic materials has lower energy requirements and lower VOC emissions, making these Colorant Chromatics pre-colored solutions more sustainable.
