New metal replacement solutions and thermoplastic elastomers for sealing applications help manufacturers effectively and economically increase fuel efficiency, reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and improve manufacturing efficiencies. Vibration and noise control: By replacing traditional rubber and other thermosets, GLS™ TPE formulations tackle noise and vibration issues on exterior mirrors and other parts, while providing functional sealing, greater design freedom, and part consolidation through overmolding.

OnFlex™ LO Low VOC Thermoplastic Elastomers: Easily processed TPEs that help manufacturers meet strict Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standards
