GLS™ TPE
AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS
ENABLE LONG-TERM
PERFORMANCE
WITH TPEs FOR
FASTENERS AND CLIPS
The average length of vehicle ownership is on the rise, placing greater demands on all elastomeric materials
to maintain long-term sealing performance in fasteners and clips.
OnFlex™ TPEs provide a tight seal over these
lengthier time frames—even at elevated temperatures—and reduce vibration and noise.

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

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.
Lined with TPE, closurelogic
caps have outstanding tightness for sealability of both
one-way and refillable bottles, while maintaining good
removal torque.
Avient offers GLS TPE cap liner formulations that are
suitable for aqueous, acidic and low alcohol beverages
processed under ambient, pasteurized
or hot fill conditions.
