Designers conceptualized a new, larger version of the Soldier’s model, including 10 tools, a lock blade that can be opened with one hand and, importantly, a non-slip handle manufactured from a combination of hard and soft thermoplastics. Avient material scientists found the perfect combination with a custom rigid nylon formulation for the handle paired with a soft GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) in the grip areas.

CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ MT LONG FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS Challe nge Accepted. And, because they are formed by injection molding, long fiber reinforced thermoplastics can be easily customized to specific design requirements.

It can also be recycled as thermoplastic material. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • High initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and various other substrates • Stable and low adhesion build-up over time to prevent residue • Low unwinding force for improved efficiency when pasting film • Good gel control • One-step extrusion processing to improve manufacturing efficiency • Reduced VOC emissions compared to current solvent-based coating technology • Can be recycled as a thermoplastic material APPLICATIONS The low adhesion build-up performance of Versaflex CF 6668 TPE makes it ideal for use in protective films for high-end applications including: • Appliance • Household furniture • Building & construction • Automotive PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

CASE STUDY: GLS™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS WHAT RECOIL? The new material, a GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) from Avient, met the rigorous needs of the high-end rifle manufacturer, and then some.

GAINING TRACTION WITH WET GRIP SOLUTION CASE STUDY: GLS™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS Challe nge Accepted. Building on the design concept from SurfCo, Avient conducted additional R&D work to formulate a specialty thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that could be coextruded with polypropylene (PP) film and meet the high expectations of SurfCo and surfers everywhere.
