GLS™ TPEs - Injection Molding Guide GLS™ TPEs - Overmolding Guide Thermoplastic Elastomers: GLS™

GLS TPEs can be customized for various color effects, levels of opacity and different types of feel and texture. Unlike other materials, GLS TPEs are recyclable, which is becoming increasingly more important to all consumers.

One of the key properties of thermoplastic elastomers supplied by Avient GLS is hardness. GLS Grade GLS typically reports hardness using the 10 second delay method.

Generally, GLS TPEs will flow much further in thinner walls than other types of TPEs. High flow GLS TPEs (such as Versalloy) have been used successfully to fill flow ratios up to 400. Typical spiral flow lengths for GLS TPEs*
