During the conference, Christopher Engel, advanced research & development engineer at Avient, will be giving a presentation on exploring bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) in automotive applications.

CLEVELAND – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE:POL) has launched a new overmolding technology based on its Versaflex™ VDT thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), developed for vibration and impact damping applications.

Thermoplastic Elastomers Knowledge Base

A semi-crystalline thermoplastic, LubriOne PEEK can be injection molded and extruded.

Corrosion-resistant thermoset and thermoplastic composites stand up to the harshest environments without the need for paint or rustproofing

Thermoplastic polymers are characterized by their ability to be reshaped repeatedly into new forms after heat and pressure are applied. Thermoplastics offer versatility and a wide range of applications. Each type of thermoplastic has unique qualities and characteristics that make it appropriate for use in a particular application.
