Until now, silicone has been the only material for white or light-colored phone cases that resists staining when in contact with blue jeans. Versaflex™ CE 3320-70 is the first of its kind and only blue jean stain resistant thermoplastic elastomer for white and light-colored phone cases.

It enables: • Increased rPET content • Reduced CO2 emissions When added to PET preforms and bottles, ColorMatrix AAzure helps to: • Improve bottle quality - Reduced preform acetaldehyde by up to 80% - Improved mechanical strength - Lightweighting • Improve processability - Reduced bottle blowouts - Reduced scrap - Improved productivity • Reduce energy consumption during bottle blowing process ColorMatrix AAzure has a slight blue tint, which is useful for off-setting yellowing often associated with the use of rPET, and has minimal impact on final product color or aesthetics.

MATERIAL BREAKTHROUGH: VERSAFLEX™ CE BLUE JEAN STAIN RESISTANT TPES FOR WHITE OR LIGHT-COLORED PHONE CASES Phone case brands have struggled to design white or light-colored cases that do not stain when in contact with blue jeans. Avient has formulated a new material that offers blue jean stain resistance similar to that of silicone*, yet with all the benefits of using a TPE: increased design freedom, an efficient supply chain leading to faster speed to market, and lower total part costs. A section of blue jeans was cut and the seam opened.
