GLS™ TPE AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS ENABLE LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE WITH TPEs FOR FASTENERS AND CLIPS The average length of vehicle ownership is on the rise, placing greater demands on all elastomeric materials to maintain long-term sealing performance in fasteners and clips. OnFlex™ TPEs provide a tight seal over these lengthier time frames—even at elevated temperatures—and reduce vibration and noise.

Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers: high-performance medical-grade formulations for demanding applications, including medical tubing, gaskets and stoppers, and bags, bottles and films. The portfolio also boasts the addition of Versaflex™ HC BT218, a new biopharmaceutical tubing grade developed in response to supply challenges and sterilization concerns for an array of medical devices

The glass fiber orientation provided lightweight strength in all directions while meeting the specific thickness required for the tube structure. When deployed, the composite material quickly unrolls to form rigid tubes that are strong, stable, rugged, and weatherproof—providing the ultimate user experience even in extreme conditions.

Fiber-Line ripcords are supplied on a variety of cardboard tubes to meet your equipment needs. Contact us with tube dimensions and color, embossing or slitting requirements.

When closurelogic turned to Avient for material selection help, the team developed a GLS™ TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) based on a stable, low migration TPE with a lower processing temperature compared to competitive TPEs, thus resulting in even fewer volatiles. Lined with TPE, closurelogic caps have outstanding tightness for sealability of both one-way and refillable bottles, while maintaining good removal torque. Avient offers GLS TPE cap liner formulations that are suitable for aqueous, acidic and low alcohol beverages processed under ambient, pasteurized or hot fill conditions.

Examples of common applications include medical tubing, inflatables, packaging film and sheets, garden hoses, toys and automotive plastics. PHTHALATES FACTS PHTHALATES ARE KNOWN TO BREAK DOWN IN THE HUMAN BODY Research has shown that after entering the body, phthalate are broken down into metabolites within minutes and pass out quickly in urine.2 PHTHALATE EXPOSURE IS CONSIDERED LOW Despite the fact that phthalates are used in a wide range of products, human exposure from all sources is considered to be extremely low.2 PHTHALATES ARE A USEFUL CHOICE FOR HEALTHCARE Flexible vinyl tubing does not react with most medications, allowing for reliable administration of drugs, while flexible vinyl bags prevent blood contamination and extend shelf life of the blood.3 PHTHALATES ARE REGULATED Based on earlier studies, a few specific phthalates have been banned for use in toys or other items for sale to children under twelve to reduce risk of overexposure through hand-to- mouth behaviors. 1 Source: chemicalsafetyfacts.org 2 Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 3 Source: thisisplastics.com www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

The Silcosperse EC series is based on varying technologies, ranging from single wall carbon nano tubes (SWCNT) and multi-wall carbon nano tubes (MWCNT), to conventional grades of conductive carbon black (CB) in higher dosing percentages.
