The Avient GLS™ product families that include styrenic TPEs are Versaflex™, Dynaflex™, OnFlex, Versalloy™ and Versollan™. Specific Versaflex OM grades have been specially formulated to bond to PC, ABS, nylon 6/6, PC/ABS, and PPO. The Versaflex CL series is formulated for high clarity.

CLEVELAND – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE:POL) has launched a new overmolding technology based on its Versaflex™ VDT thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), developed for vibration and impact damping applications. The new Versaflex VDT solution enables a better end-user experience in a wide range of products for which manufacturers seek increased comfort and resilience. The new Versaflex VDT solution can also help reduce noise by minimizing vibrations transmitted from motors and pumps.

Versaflex™ XP Wet Grip Thermoplastic Elastomer Typically, when TPEs get wet, the kinetic coefficient of friction (COF) performance is worse, resulting in a slippery surface. The Versaflex™ XP 2850 formulation is a specialty TPE developed to meet the challenge of wet environments, offering nearly double its dry kinetic COF when wet for better grip performance.
