Although a very durable material,
metal can present a challenge as it can become slippery
when wet.
Achieving the non-slip handle Victorinox envisioned
required a soft material for the new grip areas that
would chemically bond to a rigid polymer underneath.
Avient
provided product development assistance and testing,
and ultimately delivered customized materials that met
strict requirements for durability.

Results and Discussion
TPE-1
TPE-1 is a translucent material of 45 Shore A.
TPE-2
TPE-2 materials are opaque and their base chemistries are different from TPE-1.
The bonding characteristics of TPE-2 materials
to all the substrates were adhesive in nature.

(Dollars in millions, except for per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders
and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders, excluding special
items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results.

Multiple Material Molding
Multiple Material Molding is also sometimes called multicolor or two-shot injection molding.
TPE materials are quantified based on Shore hardness, which is a material’s resistance to indenture on a 6.3-
mm minimum thickness molded plaque (ASTM D2240).
Matching the
surface energy on both materials is critical for building specific interactions between materials.

One
angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that
help reduce plastic material use.
The products
help reduce material use by up to 20% depending
on part geometry and wall thickness.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
