Home // Automotive Windshields to Post-Consumer Recycled Content TPEs These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored. These new TPEs contain 25 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content from PVB reclaimed from broken automotive windshields and laminated architectural glass.

Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Improves Vehicle Interior Air Quality with OnFlex™ LO TPEs DŰSSELDORF, Germany – PolyOne is featuring new OnFlex™ LO thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) today at K 2016 (Hall 8a, Stand J15K). PolyOne tested OnFlex LO TPE against its existing TPEs according to VDA 278 standard for VOCs and fog, and VDA 270 standard for odor.
