A leading North American manufacturer of polypropylene (PP) hose for medical applications, including laser surgery, respiratory care and sleep apnea equipment, faced a challenge with its existing thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV). The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended a GLS™ Versalloy™ alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP.

These versatile additives are ideal for PE, PP or PET polymer-based applications including multilayer, blow molded containers and injection molded, wearable applications. Base resin: PE, PP, PS, PC, PET, PBT, PLA, EVA, PA

Avient expands its recently launched reSound™ REC TPE AF 7210 grades to Asia, offering a range of PCR-based solutions for overmolding PP in demanding automotive applications. These new grades of TPEs, launched earlier this year in Europe, contain 25%-55% post-consumer recycle (PCR) content, complement the existing offering of PCR-based products for polypropylene (PP) overmolding, and are specially developed for automotive interior applications such as mats, grips, and console trays. Developed for injection molding, Avient’s new grades for PP overmolding can deliver durable primeless bonding performance and are available in natural and custom-colored grades with hardnesses from Shore 40A to 80A.
