One of the key properties of thermoplastic elastomers supplied by Avient GLS is hardness.
The hardness of most thermoplastic resins is rated on the Shore D scale.
For over-mold applications, the thinner the elastomer is on the substrate, the harder it will feel.

To get help in finding the best alternative material that could be produced faster and more efficiently, the manufacturer turned to Avient.
Starting with specific performance requirements, Avient’s formulation experts set to work developing several thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) grades that could deliver better productivity and enhanced key properties than the silicone rubber part.
Extensive compatibility testing confirmed that the new grades would bond chemically with the engineering thermoplastic rigid substrate required in the device.

POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – June 17, 2020 – Today, PolyOne announced it is adding production of both post-industrial recycled nylon grades (Nymax™ PIR) and bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (reSound™ OM) in Europe.
reSound™ OM (overmolding) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane, and offer hardness levels and performance comparable to standard TPEs.
