Avient’s new Versaflex™ HC BIO TPE offers a sustainable alternative for biopharma tubing applications.     CLEVELAND – July 10, 2023 – Today, Avient Corporation announced the availability of its newest bio-derived healthcare solution, Versaflex™ HC BIO thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). Certified for USP Class VI and ISO 10993, the new Versaflex HC BIO BT218 grade is manufactured in the United States with global commercial availability.  

Product Series Gives high flexibility and thermal resistance up to 145°C when cross-linked via e-beam or with dry silane Cross-linkable with e-beam or dry silane.

The manufacturer worked with Avient to formulate a custom Versaflex™ TPE that featured a low durometer with excellent resistance to adhesion (sticking). But before making the decision to switch from silicone to the Versaflex material, the company needed to feel confident that it would recoup its capital, which included a $50,000 investment in new tooling, within 12 months.
