New PolyOne TPE for Nylon Grips Improves Oil and Abrasion Resistance McHENRY, Ill. – PolyOne today announced a significant enhancement to existing thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) technology that will help products with McHENRY, Ill. – PolyOne today announced that Montana’s WO Design relies on high-performance GLS™ Dynaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)

 – PolyOne today announced that Montana’s WO Design relies on high-performance GLS™ Dynaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) to manufacture WO|Bone, a unique dog toy that supports the Ethiopia- based charity, Bring Love In. In addition to supplying different grades of Dynaflex TPE to WO Design for testing purposes, PolyOne provided color selection expertise. Caption: WO Design chose FDA-compliant Dynaflex TPE for the WO|Bone.

reSound™ OM Thermoplastic Elastomers Bio-based TPEs Deliver on Performance Designed to support sustainability goals, the reSound OM TPE formulations utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane and offer hardness levels and property retention comparable to traditional petroleum-based TPEs. Available in four overmolding grades compatible with polypropylene (PP), and one grade that is suited for overmolding onto ABS, all grades are formulated for durability, delivering property retention and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs.
