https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/NOVEL_THERMOPLASTIC_ELASTOMERS_FOR_UNIVERSAL_OVERMOLDING_ON_DISSIMILAR_THERMOPLASTICS.pdf
Most of the new TPEs are designed based on the
concept of matching the surface energy between the TPEs and the substrates.
TPE-2
TPE-2 materials are opaque and their base chemistries are different from TPE-1.
Each
formulation was designed to selectively bond to a substrate based on the functionality of the substrate
material.

THE CHALLENGE
Schneider-Electric NB (Strömfors), a Nordic-based producer
of electrical parts recently switched to a non-halogenated
gasket (seal) material from Avient in boxes and enclosures for
household electrical installations.
First, the material had to be tested for shear resistance based
on the thickness of the seal.
Based on current market data, this
translates to potential increased sales revenue of as much as
€150,000 ($225,000 US).
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-02/Sustainability ESG Disclosures_Antimony Trioxide.pdf
The antimony vapors react with the
oxygen and form a fine, white dust that is collected in a special filtration system Antimony trioxide is often
used in plastic formulations in conjunction with a halogen-based chemical to reduce a product’s flammability.
Antimony trioxide has the unique ability to make halogen-based plastic additives more effective in reducing
the flammability of the finished plastics.
Antimony trioxide functions as a synergist, reducing the amount of halogen-based product required to achieve
desired levels of flammability resistance performance.
