Brand owners who collaborate with PolyOne are taking advantage of Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulations, metallic-effect GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and InVisiOSM Color and Design Services. Similarly, metallic-effect GLS TPEs are utilized in cosmetics closures and applicators via an overmolding process, which eliminates the time and cost associated with secondary operations and assembly.

Avient will also showcase the following functional additives, colorants, TPEs, and support services to help address the needs and trends of an evolving healthcare landscape: Versaflex™ HC BT218 TPEs for Biopharmaceutical tubing provide weldability, kink resistance, and tensile strength performance. Versaflex™ HC 2110-57B TPEs comply with ISO 10993-4, ISO 10993-5, and USP Class VI and are suitable for Ethylene Oxide (EtO) sterilization without residue or allergens.

Our TPE solutions add soft touch elements that provide better grip and ergonomics to enhance consumer experience when opening and dispensing your product. Protect your sensitive sun care formulas with UV additives, and keep your actuator buttons performing longer with chemically resistant TPE materials.

The new device utilizes PolyOne's soft-touch GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material that provides smooth, silky texture for comfort. PolyOne's specialty TPE and colorant solutions stand up to the demands of active kids during outdoor play and sports, staying bright and maintaining material performance attributes.

This next generation thermoplastic technology bridges the historic gap in performance between TPEs and silicone, opening up abundant application opportunities,” said Jean-Paul Scheepens, general manager, Americas, Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne.

Soft-touch TPEs make it happen, letting you improve the grip of SUP paddle t-handles, for example, or cushion kayak seats and thigh braces. Blisters are a thing of the past when gripping a soft-touch TPE. 

reSound™ R post-industrial recycle (PIR) and post-consumer recycle (PCR) TPEs help brand owners create sustainable end-user products. Formulated to achieve 62 percent recycled content, this high-performance TPE enabled BIC to create products that live up to its sustainability promises. These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored.
