HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE FASTENERS AND CLIPS
• Low compression set – coupled with good
stress relaxation, our automotive TPEs are
designed to maintain a good seal over time and
reduce noise generated by vibration
• High temperature performance – Avient
automotive TPEs provide good sealing
performance in temperatures up to
100°C/212°F
• Bonding performance - strong chemical bond
to polypropylene, polyethylene,
and polyamide
• Process flexibility - grades can be both
injection molded and extruded
• Easy to color - can be colored at the machine
• Reduced production steps - some grades do
not require pre-drying
• Low VOC/FOG - OnFlex HT™ has been externally
tested to VDA 278 and is proven to help satisfy
vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ) regulatory
requirements
• Single source supply – we can streamline your
supply chain with the ability to provide polymer
colorants, engineered thermoplastics, and
thermoplastic elastomers from a single source
• Global support - we provide production,
technical, and commercial support in locations
convenient to your operations, including North
America, Europe, and Asia

It
can be supplied as a stand-alone product or as a
combination product, where it can be incorporated
into a liquid color, acetaldehyde scavenger, or UV
light barrier additive.
The anticipated shelf life of SmartHeat RHC is
60–90 days, after which settling out can occur.
Further
information regarding shelf life can be obtained from
your local sales representative.

These materials
can also deteriorate with ultraviolet (UV) and chemical
exposure from sunlight and cleaning.
The bladder
can help minimize concerns surrounding liquid residue
that could be hazardous, can evacuate material more
efficiently, and compact after use for even more space
savings.
Once emptied, EZR can collapse and stack the
totes to be collected by Avient for future deliveries.

Facilitation payments blur the
lines between legal and illegal as they can be interpreted
as bribes.
They can
also pose compliance challenges, so Avient must take
appropriate steps to prevent bribery.

The chemistry of the TPE can be limiting interms of the substrate it can be bond to.
Overmolded TPEs can also provide functionality beyond feel and ergonomics.

Validating foamed parts before production requires
extensive testing, which is time-consuming and
can be expensive.
This is where Avient’s Foaming
Prediction Service can help.

HOW GLS TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN INFANT CARE APPLICATIONS
• Safe to Use – Made without bisphenol A (BPA),
phthalates, or heavy metals; select grades
compliant with FDA, REACH and China GB4806
• Durable – Resists bites and tears; many are
tested and safe to use in microwaves and
dishwashers
• Comfortable – Can be overmolded to provide a
soft touch grip and customized
to specific comfort requirements including
vibration and noise reduction
• Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and
overmolded right onto a substrate including PP,
ABS, etc
Today’s infant care product manufacturers are searching for materials they can count on for durability, but
they also need expanded design possibilities.
