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
To learn more about GLS TPEs for automotive
applications, visit www.avient.com or call
+1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368).
