Our new Bergamid grades allow high welding strength and a smooth surface resulting in an unparalleled finished product.”

Specific grades are also available to meet food contact requirements.

In response, Avient developed GLS TPEs with antimicrobial additives, available as Versaflex™ and OnFlex™ grades.

In addition, these grades can be associated with color and additive concentrates that include, for example, UV stabilizers to meet outdoor applications needs.

While evaluating several grades, the accessories company worked with Avient’s global color and additives group to develop a glow-in-the- dark solution. Ultimately, the company selected a Versaflex™ OM overmolding grade that bonded tightly to the polycarbonate (PC) substrate of the grips without the need for adhesives.

The Silcosperse EC series is based on varying technologies, ranging from single wall carbon nano tubes (SWCNT) and multi-wall carbon nano tubes (MWCNT), to conventional grades of conductive carbon black (CB) in higher dosing percentages. CB is also available as a European food regulation compliant grade. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 1.00E+18 1.00E+16 1.00E+14 1.00E+12 1.00E+10 1.00E+08 1.00E+06 1.00E+04 1.00E+02 1.00E+00 INSULATIVE ANTISTAT DISSIPATIVE CONDUCTIVE KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Delivers a range of properties from anti-static through conductive • Achieves greater conductivity levels with lower loadings in single- and multi-wall nanotubes • Anti-static performance available at lower doses • Dark color options, such as browns, blues or reds, available at lower dosages in single-wall nanotubes • Suitable for peroxide- or platinum-cured silicone formulations MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Silcosperse EC Electrically Conductive additive dispersions are found in a variety of markets, including transportation, energy, electrical & electronics, and the films & coatings industry.
