Available in two Shore A hardnesses, Versaflex HC grades can also be customized to achieve desired haptic qualities. Customers have reported that devices made with Versaflex HC TPEs successfully withstood 10,000 antiseptic wipes. With a Shore A hardness of 48, Versaflex HC 1348 is slightly softer than Versaflex HC 1365, which has a durometer of 65A and a matte finish.  

Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheet and film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick together. This static buildup can then cause the resulting parts, film or sheet to cling to one another, or stick to the mold or tool. PRODUCT BULLETIN KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Eliminates electric charges to maintain good product appearance • Creates safer, static-dissipated parts for electronics, packaging, automotive, and military applications • Improves product appeal by reducing static charge-related dust accumulation • Reduces the risk of a potential fire hazard in product environments • Reduces cycle times, maximizes throughput, and lowers operating costs • Can be combined with other additives or colorants into a single masterbatch • Compatible with a variety of processes including blow molding, injection molding, extrusion, and film processing • FDA-approved and bio-based formulations available MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Cesa Stat Antistatic Additives are suitable for any thermoplastic application that could benefit from reduced static buildup, including: • Automotive under-the-hood components • Automotive dashboards • Electrical connectors & components • Electronic components • Military components • Consumer packaging ARE YOU IN A BATTLE WITH STATIC?

Additives for Polyolefin Films: Cesa™ Enhance properties and processing capability with multifunctional additives for polyolefin films

Avient expands the launch of its new Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aid for polyolefin extrusion and film formulations to Asia, enabling processability, productivity, and stability comparable to traditional fluoropolymer-based processing aids. This new solution is formulated without fluoropolymers, which may be classifiable as per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), for use in polyolefin extrusion and film applications without compromising performance or efficiency.   It can be used in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) films for flexible packaging, as well as cast PP films and PE tubing for various food packaging applications, such as stand-up pouches, labeling tubes, and laminated tubes.  

Versaflex™ HC TPE is formulated to produce low coring levels in resealing applications. With Versaflex HC, on the other hand, injection molding happens in seconds, and does not require curing or washing, thus saving significant time and reducing cost. Versaflex HC grades give customers confidence that the materials will comply with regulatory requirements.

Results showed Versaflex™ XP shock absorbing TPEs absorbed up to 10 percent more impact than TPU at drop heights of 4 – 8 feet, and over 25 percent more impact at 10 – 14 feet. In addition, the tests showed that a case made with Versaflex XP TPE dropped from 14 feet performs nearly the same as a TPU case dropped from 10 feet.
