Benefits of using engineered thermoplastics over aluminum include: • Significant cost and weight reduction • Excellent strength-to-weight ratios that are equal to or better than non-ferrous metals • Increased design freedom with the ability to mold in components and features YOUR CUSTOMERS EMBODY A SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE. Soft-touch thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) overmolded onto a lightweight paddleshaft made of Avient’s advanced composite materials can help add to the experience and avoid annoyances such as blisters. Make your products look and feel amazing, and add shelf appeal while you’re at it: • Offer a more comfortable grip to a typically hard surface with TPEs from Avient • Provide an easy process for customization with TPEs • Use materials that provide documented vibration damping and lessen the negative effects of bone- rattling vibration on the human body Your customers may get their thrills from extreme sports like backwoods snowboarding or a simple family camping trip.

This includes introducing Cesa™ Non-PFAS Low-Retention Additives and launching an expanded NEUSoft™ Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPUs) portfolio with an express color palette.  Trilliant™ HC Healthcare Thermoplastics: These chemically resistant thermoplastics can withstand harsh environments, offering excellent toughness and durability for medical devices and components. Versaflex™ HC and Versaflex HC BIO Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs): These specialty TPE formulations offer versatile and customizable performance for medical and biopharmaceutical tubing, device overmolds, and injection molded applications.

Brand owners who collaborate with PolyOne are taking advantage of Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulations, metallic-effect GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and InVisiOSM Color and Design Services. Similarly, metallic-effect GLS TPEs are utilized in cosmetics closures and applicators via an overmolding process, which eliminates the time and cost associated with secondary operations and assembly.
