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.
