The design team reached out to long-term supplier Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers to help develop a customized solution. They selected a TPE-based impact modifier that could be used at a loading level five percentage points below the current material while still meeting all of the performance requirements, including higher stiffness.

Thermoplastic Elastomers OnFlex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers Versaflex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers

OnFlex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers Solutions for Automotive Applications To keep up with industry demands, regulatory challenges and end-user preferences, it’s imperative to consider the influence of material specifications at the beginning of the product development cycle. Known for offering tight seals and reducing vibration and noise, certain thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), like OnFlex™ grades, may be better suited for your particular application than the historically incumbent materials, like general purpose TPEs, thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV), and thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO).
