– PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers today announced the launch of an overmolding technology based on Versaflex™ VDT thermoplastic elastomer (TPEs), developed for vibration and impact damping applications. Customers familiar with our Versaflex VDT material have asked for an overmolding variation that allows them to leverage the design freedom of two-shot and insert injection molding,” said Charles Page, director, global marketing, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers. Versaflex VDT overmolding grades deliver the same great vibration and impact damping performance as the original Versaflex VDT technology, exceeding most thermoset solutions while offering the advantage of thermoplastic design flexibility.

The addition of the Dyneema portfolio will raise Avient’s material offerings to the highest levels on the performance spectrum of composites and engineered fibers.” The ultra-lightweight specialty fiber is 15 times stronger than steel and is used in demanding applications such as ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, industrial protection and outdoor sports. Further, Avient’s composites platform with the Dyneema business will represent over 50% of the company’s Specialty Engineered Materials segment sales. 2 “In conjunction with our intent to acquire Dyneema, we plan to explore a potential sale of our distribution business,” said Mr.

To better evaluate how to protect plastic parts from microbial attack, Avient conducted a study to screen a variety of plastic substrates for susceptibility using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial susceptibility) test standards. The resulting white paper unpacks the technical details and conclusions of the study, including the efficacy of GLS™ TPEs with antimicrobial additives to protect the finished, molded part.
