CUSTOM TPE RESOLVES A STICKY SITUATION FOR CONTACT LENS CONTAINER CASE STUDY: VERSAFLEX™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS Challe nge Accepted. Because low durometer (softer) material is a requirement for this application, the manufacturer considered a switch to a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). Avient helped the customer calculate costs for the 12-month period.

CASE STUDY: VERSAFLEX™ SOFT-TOUCH THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS Challe nge Accepted. They presented Hoyt with a variety of options and suggested Avient’s Versaflex™ soft-touch thermoplastic elastomer as a material solution. Working with the Avient Design team on our VITALPOINT™ grip project was a big win for us.

CASE STUDY: GLS™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS THE LOGICAL CHOICE FOR ACQUA PLOSEChalle nge Accepted. When closurelogic turned to Avient for material selection help, the team developed a GLS™ TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) based on a stable, low migration TPE with a lower processing temperature compared to competitive TPEs, thus resulting in even fewer volatiles. The Avient team addressed this challenge with the new formulation, which is optimized for compression set.

TPE HEIGHTENS PRODUCT IMPACT AND PROFITABILITY CASE STUDY: ONFLEX-S™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS Challe nge Accepted. To provide a secure grip for safety and usability, the company planned to overmold a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) onto the handle and other selected areas of the sprayer. THE IMPACT With its enhanced processability, OnFlex-S K 65A-3E1709 thermoplastic elastomer enabled the company to solve its 2K molding issues and reduce system costs.

Avient PlastiComp Complēt™ & OnForce™ long fiber composite pellets are manufactured using a pultrusion process.  A compounding extruder connected to the impregnation die functions as a melt pump feeding molten thermoplastic polymer into the process.  Learn about Long Fiber Thermoplastic (LFT)

One respected truck manufacturer chose Avient to help them reach their lightweight goals. This customer used Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) tapes and laminates in the trailer space of their heavy truck applications. These tapes and laminates combined high strength, unidirectional fibers and engineered thermoplastic resins to help reduce weight while maintaining exceptional strength and impact resistance.
