CASE STUDY: GLS™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS
THE LOGICAL CHOICE
FOR ACQUA PLOSEChalle
nge Accepted.
When closurelogic
turned to Avient for material selection help, the team
developed a GLS™ TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) based
on a stable, low migration TPE with a lower processing
temperature compared to competitive TPEs, thus
resulting in even fewer volatiles.

INDUSTRY BULLETIN
Cesa™ Laser Marking Additives
for the Transportation Industry
Many thermoplastic automotive parts require a
permanent marking, and laser marking is among
the most efficient means to do so.
Cesa Laser Marking Additives can be used with
thermoplastics commonly used in vehicles
including:
• PP
• PC/ABS
• Polyamide
• Polyacetal (POM)

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-05/LFT Application Development Center Bulletin.pdf
Long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) offer benefits to design
engineers seeking a material that provides exceptional strength, yet requires
lightweight properties.
DESIGN SUPPORT
Designing your application for long fiber
thermoplastics, regardless of material familiarity,
requires an assessment of a wide array of inputs
to achieve the optimal geometry.
With
these capabilities at our disposal, we assist you with
recommending the following characteristics that
make up your customized solution:
• Resin system selection (i.e., nylon,polypropylene,
rigid thermoplastic polyurethane, etc
