The garden equipment company paired up with Avient to determine a suitable TPE for this application.
Avient recommended an OnFlex™-S multicomponent TPE, which offers excellent adhesion to ABS and can be molded at lower temperatures and injection pressures than competitive products.
Lower system costs = higher margins: By reducing waste from part deformation, the Avient TPE allowed the manufacturer to leverage efficient, fast 2K molding for system cost reduction.

Avient collaborated with a leading global automotive OEM and its injection molder to eliminate paint from a new vehicle’s interior.

The manufacturer began working with Avient to find a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solution to meet its dual requirements.
Avient’s team recommended the use of overmolding (two-shot injection molding) to integrate the boot with the saw housing, and trialed several products before customizing a grade from its portfolio.
Avient gathered detailed data from this customer’s production facility in Mexico and helped them calculate and compare the costs of the two solutions.
