Manufactured and commercially available in North America only, they provide a UL 94 flame rating and structural integrity to manufacturers seeking alternatives to metal or underperforming short-fiber solutions. These glass-filled Complēt PKE FR grades are formulated without PFAS-based raw materials, providing alternatives amid growing regulatory guidelines for these chemicals.

New reSound™ REC TPEs from Avient offer sustainable alternatives to traditional materials for automotive interior applications.

More brand owners in the plastics and rubber industries are now looking for sustainable and innovative alternative materials that can also meet performance demands," says Flight Xu, General Manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for Avient, “As a global provider of specialized TPEs and specialty engineered materials, we have also developed lightweight, recycled, bio-based, and eco-conscious materials with a lower carbon footprint than virgin alternatives to support sustainability goals from conception to commercialization.”   Versaflex™ TF Adhesive TPEs for Textile Fabrics: a cost-effective alternative compared to traditional thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) adhesive films and traditional glues, offering a low VOC and non-intentionally added plasticizers, combining strong and seamless adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics with outstanding elastic recovery for high wearing comfort Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics: chemical and scratch-resistant formulations with special aesthetics such as high-gloss, matte, marble, speckle, and more, as an alternative to painted metal or plastic parts that can eliminate secondary painting process, leading to reduced energy consumption and VOC emissions  

Alternative to FEP An alternative solution meets FR goals, saves cost, and improves processing ease. Non-halogenated and halogenated alternatives that meet demanding flame performance for UL 444 & Plenum Yellow Card ratings

Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFTs) provide alternatives to and benefits over traditional materials used in aftermarket parts, offering designers fresh options with high strength, low density, resistance to moisture absorption, excellent design freedom, and the ability to eliminate secondary processing.  Alternative Energy

These composites have structural characteristics that make them ideal alternatives to metals.
