In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure. A few of the options you can add with GLS TPEs: 1. Research has shown that adding sensory enhancement and aesthetics to these products can attract buyers and can also justify a higher price point.

EU Regulation No 528/2012 states that cable manufacturers in Europe can only use masterbatch additives that are authorized by BPR. In fact, no material supplier or cable manufacturer can compete in the European marketplace without this official authorization. BPR is not applicable outside of EU countries; however, PolyOne can help manufacturers uncover their local biocidal regulations to determine if OnCap™ Aversive masterbatch additive meets requirements.

Minor changes in your ink’s composition can mean the difference between poor, satisfactory and outstanding results. Meet high-temperature manufacturing requirements without compromising on color accuracy See how our specially formulated colorants can help differentiate your brand

Thanks to this new additive, converters and brand owners can use higher concentrations of rPET without compromising packaging aesthetics or performance. Converters now have a solution to address the issues associated with recycled PET, and can address the root causes of degradation and discoloration that have previously limited rPET’s potential.”   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Using two-shot or insert molding, the material bonds tightly without adhesives to most standard nylons, as well as heat-stabilized, lubricated, glass-filled and impact-modified versions. Available in translucent and black formulations, this new overmolding TPE grade can be custom colored to meet aesthetic and branding needs. With a standard Shore A hardness of 60, the material can be customized to other hardness levels to meet specific customer requirements.

In recent years, white opaque PET bottles for dairy applications have been under increasing scrutiny for the potential effects their mineral fillers can have on the recycle stream used to create fiber. Commercially available in major regions around the world, new Lactra light blocking additive technology from Avient can help customers facing TiO2 restrictions comply with regulations without compromising performance.
