So we’ve developed the ideal TPEs for your infant
care application, from materials that are durable and safe for baby contact to regulatory compliant grades and
soft-touch solutions
The food contact compliance statements are based on the composition of the TPE and cite any restrictions, limitations, food types, and/or
specific migration limitations (depending on the regulation).
Our GLS TPEs safely deliver on all of these requirements, while

Avient GLS
thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material specialists identified a
current TPE within the OnFlex™ S HF, non-halogenated, flame
retardant portfolio that could be slightly modified to meet the
application’s requirements.
Avient determined the TPE
would perform satisfactorily at an 85 Shore A hardness level.
High-flow properties of OnFlex S HF TPE allow the gaskets
to be overmolded in multi-cavity tools (up to 12 cavities
per tool).
