There’s a way to achieve both form and function by adding a soft-touch, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) grip. SOFT-TOUCH GRIPS FOR A COMPETITIVE EDGE Infuse quality, comfort & high-end aesthetics into your designs with GLSTM Thermoplastic Elastomers by Avient.

Add homey touches to pet products, such as soft colors, natural fibers and fabric effects, to allow them to blend into home decor. Explore the use of sustainable materials, such as coconut fibers or recycled plastics, to reduce your brand’s environmental footprint.

Faster Speed-to-Market and Increased Design Flexibility – The sampling and validating of thermoplastic formulations is faster than that of traditionally used materials such as ceramics or printed circuit boards (PCB). Better Performance-to-Cost Ratios – Traditionally used materials can cost 30–40% more than a thermoplastic solution at only slightly better performance. Small Part Manufacturing Capabilities – Thermoplastics can be molded into smaller parts, whereas the manufacturing process of traditionally used materials limits this capability.

THE SOLUTION Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations are unique, high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals. They are formulated using select metallic fillers and engineered thermoplastic resins to achieve the specific gravity of different metals, while providing the design flexibility and processing ease of conventional thermoplastics.
