There are a variety of Avient TPEs designed to have excellent adhesion to a number of rigid plastic substrates for overmolding. If you do not see your substrate in this page, please contact us directly; we can develop a custom overmolding TPE that is optimized to bond to your specific substrate.

Airtight housings are molded from Maxxam™ FR non-halogenated flame retardant polymers and overmolded with OnFlex™ non-halogenated, flame-retardant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). The OnFlex TPE material serves as an impermeable elastic membrane, reducing air leakage by 95 percent compared to standard electrical installation boxes, and leads to energy savings for Schneider’s customers.

The new device utilizes PolyOne's soft-touch GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material that provides smooth, silky texture for comfort. PolyOne's specialty TPE and colorant solutions stand up to the demands of active kids during outdoor play and sports, staying bright and maintaining material performance attributes.

This next generation thermoplastic technology bridges the historic gap in performance between TPEs and silicone, opening up abundant application opportunities,” said Jean-Paul Scheepens, general manager, Americas, Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne.

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.
