reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint
Thermoplastic Elastomers
Developed to support a global shift toward net zero
CO2 emissions for next-generation products, these
reSound™ TPE formulations deliver negative, neutral,
or near-zero carbon footprint values.
The first grades
in the series offer an industry-first product carbon
footprint (PCF) between -0.46 to -0.02.
reSound ultra-low carbon footprint TPEs are
available globally, and each PCF is location specific
to more accurately support carbon neutrality efforts.

Here’s a case in point: A leading manufacturer of
medical devices in North America had established
a great brand with excellent quality, but wanted
to improve the resistance of its PC/ABS equipment
housings to this new disinfection protocol.
Although PVC is one option, this
manufacturer needed a colorable, drop-in replacement
for PC/ABS.
The results showed the
Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and
had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability
rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient
also used its custom color matching capabilities to
provide pre-colored material that simplified molding,
while the material’s wide processing window helped
accommodate a variety of molding environments.
