Its design team determined the need for a soft-touch material with strong chemical resistance and color stability for the mouse grip.  Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team turned to Avient for a selection of suitable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). For the mouse feet, Avient formulated a special grade of LubriOne™ filled acetal as an improvement over the neat acetal found in traditional designs.

At Packaging of Perfume Cosmetics & Design (PCD, booth #AB17), the company is illustrating the impact of soft-touch TPEs with gold, silver and copper effects and featuring an inspirational portfolio based on the 2017 InVisiOSM Color Inspiration Wanderlust collection from PolyOne Color and Additives.  As the popularity of the metallic look continues to soar, packaging designers are looking for new ways to capitalize on this trend,” said Charles Page, global marketing director, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers.

These advanced materials will help increase speed to market and design flexibility for 5G base station antenna manufacturers. New customizable Edgetek Formulations for 5G feature specific Dk values and reduced dissipation factors (Df), enabling faster design qualification and shorter lead times. Both materials can help 5G base station antenna manufactures to streamline their design and process development.
