Comfort Meets Design Freedom in New Overmolding Solution from Versaflex™ VDT Vibration Damping TPE Portfolio McHENRY, Ill. – PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers today announced the launch of an overmolding technology based on Versaflex™ VDT thermopl

Versaflex™ XP Wet Grip Thermoplastic Elastomer Typically, when TPEs get wet, the kinetic coefficient of friction (COF) performance is worse, resulting in a slippery surface. The Versaflex™ XP 2850 formulation is a specialty TPE developed to meet the challenge of wet environments, offering nearly double its dry kinetic COF when wet for better grip performance. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent COF performance (both wet and dry) • Outstanding abrasion and UV resistance • Easily colorable • Custom formulations available to achieve specific performance properties • Injection moldable (can be overmolded) and extrudable • Retains properties and performance when immersed in salt water MARKETS & APPLICATIONS This grip-enhancing TPE is colorable and customizable to meet the look and functional requirements of a broad range of consumer applications.

CASE STUDY: BERGAMID™ POLYMER FORMULATIONS & GLS™ TPES Ch all en ge A cc ep te d. Designers conceptualized a new, larger version of the Soldier’s model, including 10 tools, a lock blade that can be opened with one hand and, importantly, a non-slip handle manufactured from a combination of hard and soft thermoplastics. Avient material scientists found the perfect combination with a custom rigid nylon formulation for the handle paired with a soft GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) in the grip areas.

GLS™ TPE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS CHEMICAL RESISTANT SOLUTIONS FOR COSMETIC, PERSONAL CARE AND HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING We’ve developed a line of chemical resistant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that do not discolor, etch, crack or delaminate. And, because TPEs can be overmolded, brand owners and packaging manufacturers have new options for designing components that can be integrated directly into the package. Our FDA and REACH compliant Versaflex™ PKG TPEs provide options for designing aesthetically pleasing packaging components that withstand aggressive chemicals

Thermoplastic Elastomers | Challenge Accepted , Consumer Products , Outdoor The Brooks design team members turned to Avient for help developing a solution that would work seamlessly with Brooks’ proprietary TPE blend used in the shoe's midsoles.  Working together, teams from both companies created a customized TPE material that matched the performance of the Brooks TPE blend.
