reSound™ REC post-industrial recycle (PIR) and post-consumer recycle (PCR) TPEs help brand owners create sustainable end-user products. Formulated to achieve 62 percent recycled content, this high-performance TPE enabled BIC to create products that live up to its sustainability promises. By combining reSound R TPE with a transparent plastic that also has recycled content, the BIC Soleil Click 5 handle reaches over 40 percent recycled content in total, while maintaining the trusted and quality shave BIC’s consumers enjoy.

New PolyOne TPE for Nylon Grips Improves Oil and Abrasion Resistance McHENRY, Ill. – PolyOne today announced a significant enhancement to existing thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) technology that will help products with McHENRY, Ill. – PolyOne today announced that Montana’s WO Design relies on high-performance GLS™ Dynaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)

reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs are formulated to achieve a negative, neutral or low carbon footprint versus traditional TPEs. Additionally, these TPEs reduce VOCs, fogging and odor for vehicle interiors. 

GLS TPEs are generally non-abrasive and non-corrosive. Typical TPE Hardness Range Potential heat degradation for SBS TPEs

The manufacturer began working with Avient to find a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solution to meet its dual requirements. Currently, the company is producing 800,000 housings annually using the specialty TPE material. Adding to the overall value of the solution, the TPE yields significantly less scrap than the previously used AES material.

In addition, the high-flow TPE easily handles WO|Bone’s molded-in surface textures (divots and bumps) that promote dental health. In addition to supplying different grades of Dynaflex TPE to WO Design for testing purposes, PolyOne provided color selection expertise. Caption: WO Design chose FDA-compliant Dynaflex TPE for the WO|Bone.

Avient’s featured range of products on display includes customized protection film materials, adhesive TPEs for textile fabric, bio-based TPEs, and specialty engineered materials developed to enhance product performance in the building and construction, automotive, and consumer industries. These formulations can also reduce VOCs and eliminate costly and time-consuming coating compared to traditional TPEs, offering a more sustainable process reSound™ BIO TPEs: contains 40 to 90 percent bio-based content within a wide hardness range (which can help reduce carbon footprint) and has performance characteristics that are comparable to standard TPEs
