Avient Corporation highlights sustainable innovations at NPE 2024, including Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations, Versaflex™ HC BIO BT218 TPEs, ColorMatrix™ Capture™ Oxygen Scavenger, and Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aid for Extrusion, exemplifying the company’s commitment to delivering advanced sustainable solutions.   Versaflex™ HC BIO BT218 TPEs: a finalist for the Plastics Industry Association’s People’s Choice for Plastics Sustainability Innovation Award to be announced at NPE, this grade of bio-derived thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing and deliver excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of extractables while offering the same performance as its prime counterpart but with a lower carbon footprint.

Versaflex™ HC and Versaflex HC BIO Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs): These specialty TPE formulations offer versatile and customizable performance for medical and biopharmaceutical tubing, device overmolds, and injection molded applications. Available in a variety of durometers and performance characteristics, the product family includes grades formulated without animal derivatives and a bio-based Versaflex HC BIO BT218 formulation developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing (excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of leachables and extractables) with a lower carbon footprint than traditional Versaflex HC TPE or silicone alternatives.

Our low VOC/FOG TPEs for interiors keep you on top of VIAQ standards.
