Homepage // News Center // Bio-Based TPE for Biopharmaceutical Tubing Added to Avient’s Sustainable Healthcare Solutions Avient’s new Versaflex™ HC BIO TPE offers a sustainable alternative for biopharma tubing applications.     The 71 Shore A formulation provides critical application performance such as weldability, kink resistance, and tensile strength comparable to leading medical tubing materials, including silicone and standard TPEs.

This portfolio includes the recent addition of Mevopur bio-based polymer solutions, which are color and additive masterbatches based on bio-polyethylene resins that have up to 95 percent bio-based content. Versaflex™ HC BT218 is a medical-grade TPE developed specifically to handle the growing demand for and complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing.

THE SOLUTION When approached with a thermoplastic composite technology that offered the freedom to add torsional flex without compromising on strength and power, the product innovators at Rome were seriously stoked. Torsional flex placed specifically where it’s needed in a strong, ultra-lightweight, customized binding. This material’s superior stiffness and flexural strength enables Rome to give snowboarders its signature “flex with pop” performance in the lightest, most responsive binding the company has ever produced.

Avient introduces the Syncure™ XLPE 200 Series, cross-linkable polyethylene formulations with a DBDPE-free alternative to traditional flame-retardant materials for low voltage cable systems. CLEVELAND – October 11, 2023 – Today, Avient Corporation is expanding its Syncure™ XLPE Cross-linkable Polyethylene Formulations portfolio with the launch of new flame-retardant grades made without decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE). Like other Syncure materials, the DBDPE-free formulations combine a polyethylene graft resin and flame-retardant catalyst to create a cross-linked solution for cable systems.
