Thermoplastic Elastomers Knowledge Base Refer to the individual Technical Data Sheet for drying recommendations for specific grades. Refer to the Technical Data Sheet for the chosen grade to determine barrel temperature settings.

Unlike metal, thermoplastics can also be molded into complex shapes that fit tight spaces. With thermoplastic parts, there is rarely a need for secondary processing steps such as coating, welding, drilling or painting.

The manufacturer began working with Avient to find a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solution to meet its dual requirements. Discover Thermoplastic Elastomer Solutions

Again working in tandem, the Mars Otomotiv engineers and Avient’s technical team were able to alter the mold so it could process the thermoplastic in place of aluminum. The thermal dissipative performance of the thermoplastic heat sink is equivalent to that of aluminum – even for the highest-power HB LED model, which provides 27 total watts in nine HB LEDs.
