Avient's capstock solutions pair with traditional wood plastic composite (WPC) materials as a substrate for a durable outer layer, resulting in an ultra-low maintenance end product. Available for a variety of applications and uses, including: injection molded accessories, wood plastic composite solutions, outdoor furniture, and co-extruded capstocks.

Compared to those alternative materials, Versaflex TF TPEs also do not include plasticizers, and contain lower volatile organic compounds (VOC) than traditional adhesive solutions, reducing concerns over toxicity. Non-toxic formulations with low volatile organic compounds (VOC) and without added plasticizers

Developing application-specific formulations requires experience plus a holistic understanding of the demands of end-use industries, plastics processing, and polymer science. Handling some of the most challenging and high-performance plastic applications

A full line of dispersions for rubber and plastic applications. Improve process efficiency and enhance performance with additives for rubbers and plastics

Plastic parts come into play for 5G by ensuring wireless signals can easily pass through the plastic material to minimize signal loss.

Plastic is a logical and proven choice for vehicle designers and engineers who want to reduce weight, improve performance, and manage costs. But until recently, molded-in color plastic parts were not the go-to choice for exterior vehicle components, mainly because they couldn’t meet performance and appearance targets.
