Low VOC / FOG Thermoplastic Elastomers OnFlex™ LO thermoplastic elastomers reduce VOCs, fogging, and odor to help satisfy Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standards in automotive HVAC components, fasteners, clips, and interior trays Vibration Damping Technology Versaflex™ VDT thermoplastic elastomers absorb shock to help support vehicle noise reduction in multiple applications

CLEVELAND – June 11, 2018 – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) today unveiled the first-ever thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material able to resist blue jean staining for white and light-colored phone cases. Using Versaflex™ CE 3320-70 TPE helps brands avoid the sourcing and manufacturing issues of silicone, and it is the only thermoplastic material that stands up to blue jean staining when used in white and light-colored phone cases. This recyclable thermoplastic also processes faster than silicones and adheres well to polycarbonate when overmolded.
