Scientists estimate we are using more resources than Earth can replenish in a year — 1.75 times more than our planet’s ecosystems can regenerate. For example, you may end up using less material by designing smaller or thinner components, making products more durable so they last longer, and/or making them easier to repair. The use of multiple materials, color, and certain additives can add to the recycling complexity or limit recyclability.

The use of 2K (two-component) molding – in which the base resin is injected and allowed to set up for a short time, and then is overmolded by injecting the TPE – streamlines the manufacturing process. Without it, the company faced the prospect of having to use another production technique that would cost more and take longer. For this manufacturer, another appealing aspect of working with this material was Avient’s dedicated TPE production line in Spain, which is used solely to manufacture TPEs for overmolding applications.

At Avient, global chemical management is focused on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) assessments, reclassifications and communication on the safe use and handling of these substances. Avient does currently purchase and use a small amount of fluoropolymers and PFAS- containing additives as raw materials which represent less than 3% of our global product portfolio. Avient does not use perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) in its product formulations.
