Using an under-base gray as a dye filter will also greatly enhance the bleed resistance. The under-base gray must also cure at a lower temperature or the advantage is lost. The only limiting factor may be an under-base gray on a heavily-textured fabric.

Based on styrenic block copolymers, this thermoplastic elastomer offers low temperature flexibility, good abrasion resistance, excellent colorability and UV resistance. Because it exhibits a higher flow rate than other SBC-based TPEs, OnFlex-S TPE reduces cycle times during injection molding, a feature that satisfies productivity objectives set by Jäger. This specific grade is based on styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene (SEBS), and its 80 Shore A hardness provides desirable toughness.

Based on polymers such as polypropylene (PP), the new formulations also include a natural filler made from renewable plant sources that would otherwise go to waste. reSound™ OM bio-based TPEs: Based on biopolymers derived from sugarcane, all grades utilize 35 to 50 percent bio-based content, and are formulated to deliver varying hardness levels, favorable property retention, and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs.

SHANGHAI, China – June 27, 2023 – Today, Avient Corporation is expanding its reSound™ BIO bio-based and reSound™ REC recycled content Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) portfolios with the launch of a new range of halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR) grades containing recycled and bio-based resin. To meet those needs, we are now offering added value for our customers in the USB-C cable market with a new product line of flame-retardant TPEs that incorporate post-consumer recycled (PCR) or bio-based content, resulting in a 15% to 25% product carbon footprint (CPF) reduction over incumbent virgin solutions.” Besides relying on the verified halogen-free technology of all flame-retardant reSound TPEs, Avient’s new low-PCF HFFR formulations include two reSound BIO grades with up to 45% bio-based content and one reSound REC FR grade with up to 30% PCR content.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions — to help reduce carbon footprint, this range of color and additive concentrates are formulated with bio-based polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, and styrenic polymers, offering significant carbon footprint reductions of 70% to 120% compared to their fossil-fuel-based counterparts, and manufactured under the same quality management system as other Mevopur products, they are drop-in solutions that can be used like their fossil-fuel-based counterparts in the injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging

Avient expands its recently launched reSound™ REC TPE AF 7210 grades to Asia, offering a range of PCR-based solutions for overmolding PP in demanding automotive applications. These new grades of TPEs, launched earlier this year in Europe, contain 25%-55% post-consumer recycle (PCR) content, complement the existing offering of PCR-based products for polypropylene (PP) overmolding, and are specially developed for automotive interior applications such as mats, grips, and console trays. The new PCR-based reSound REC grades, which have been extensively tested in laboratories and applications in collaboration with OEM partners, exhibit outstanding results in line with requirements for automotive interiors.
