Examine the research behind TPEs with antimicrobial additives TPEs were determined to be most susceptible to microbial attack under the appropriate environmental conditions. Take a closer look at the research behind TPEs with antimicrobial additives.

TPE Knowledge Base The GLS™ TPE Overmolding Guide is a compilation of more than 25 years of experience in the development, design and processing of overmolding TPEs, based on contributions from a variety of Avient and industry sources. Overmolding TPE Selection

Learn the benefits of using TPEs that change color as temperature rises and falls Consumer products made with TPEs offer benefits that add both consumer appeal and safety benefits. Soft, flexible TPEs can be easily overmolded onto hard substrates.

Think TPEs TPE benefits include: In addition, TPEs provide good moisture barrier properties and are recyclable.

MANNHEIM, Germany – PolyOne unveiled new OnFlex™ LO thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) today at the VDI Plastics in Automotive Engineering Conference (Stand 83A). While our existing TPEs lead the industry in low emissions performance, we continue to innovate and anticipate future demands and stricter requirements. PolyOne tested OnFlex LO TPE against its existing TPEs according to VDA 278 standard for VOCs and fog, and VDA 270 standard for odor.

The manufacturer began working with Avient to find a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solution to meet its dual requirements. Currently, the company is producing 800,000 housings annually using the specialty TPE material. Adding to the overall value of the solution, the TPE yields significantly less scrap than the previously used AES material.
