GLS™ TPEs for Automotive Fasteners and Clips - Product Bulletin Enable long-term performance with GLS™ TPEs for automotive fasteners and clips Versaflex™ TPE used in liner for aluminum caps to keep water tasting fresh

At the show, PolyOne will also feature a number of its specialty solutions, including a new aluminum cap liner technology, GLS™ Versaflex™ PKG 4190 thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). This advanced material helps preserve taste and aroma of sensitive beverages, and requires lower processing temperatures than traditional TPEs to save energy and enhance manufacturing flexibility. Soft-touch GLS™ TPE solutions for differentiated food, beverage, and personal care packaging

The new formulations are Avient’s first PCR-containing TPE technology developed primarily for overmolding polycarbonate (PC), acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS blends in applications from consumer electronics, cosmetics packaging, and personal care items to power tools and toys. They offer a performance property profile, including adhesion, surface quality, and soft touch feel, comparable to prime TPEs without recycled content. Our new reSound REC family of PCR-based TPEs addresses these challenges and reflects Avient’s firm commitment to sustainability and accelerating the transition towards circularity.”

reSound™ OM (overmolding) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane, and offer hardness levels and performance comparable to standard TPEs. Consisting of four overmolding grades compatible with rigid polypropylene and one suited to ABS, all grades are formulated for durability, property retention, and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs.

Avient Design services and a custom Versaflex™ wet grip TPE combine to deliver an optimized and aesthetically differentiated fishing tool for outdoor gear OEM Versaflex™ XP Wet Grip TPE - Product Bulletin Versaflex™ XP 2850 wet grip TPE provides exceptional wet kinetic COF performance for enhanced grip in wet environments

Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team turned to Avient for a selection of suitable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). To meet the manufacturer’s goals for the mouse grip, a clear TPE overmolding material, GLS Versaflex™, was formulated for improved ergonomics and comfort, strong chemical resistance, and excellent bonding to the ABS substrate. TPEs that are ideal for healthcare, consumer goods and cutting-edge electronics such as wearables

Avient’s Onflex™ Lo TPE and Maxxam™ engineered material formulations are used for interior HVAC air flaps, trays, console carrier and instrument panels, and related interior parts. Onflex™ Lo TPE helped the same customer replace traditional PU foaming materials for HVAC sealing components, which greatly improved the VOC levels to meet local vehicle interior air quality standards.
