EXPLORE WEAR RESISTANCE
LubriOne internally lubricated thermoplastic polymers have been specifically
designed to improve tribological performance in components, offering
low coefficient of friction and improved wear–resistance properties.

TPEs provide a number of benefits to address these
market trends such as a soft-touch, non-slip grip, while maintaining required performance properties such as
good oil/grease resistance, toughness, abrasion resistance, and vibration damping.
Wear and UV resistance, as well as resistance to dirt and skin oil are also important.
Aside from their soft touch, non-slip grip, even in wet environments, TPEs offer
good weatherability, good chemical and oil resistance, low temperature flexibility, and good wear resistance.

HOW STAT-TECH MATERIAL MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE
ADAS SENSORS, CAMERAS AND ECUS
Protection from static buildup – Stat-Tech
material reduces static buildup with surface
resistivity between 1.0E+2 ohms and 1.0E+6 ohms,
minimizing sparks from damaging nearby electrical
components, especially those near fuel storage.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-05/OnFlex S HF Electrical Housing Case StudyNEW.pdf
First, the material had to be tested for shear resistance based
on the thickness of the seal.
Next, the materials team formulated a grade that would offer
enough heat resistance to be overmolded onto polypropylene,
the underlying rigid material.
Additional advantages of these TPEs include:
• Highly flame retardant without the inclusion
of halogens
• Low temperature flexibility
• Excellent processability
• Good abrasion resistance
• Excellent colorability
• Operating temperatures from -50° C to +100° C
• All grades meet UL94-V0 at 1.5 mm
• All grades pass IEC 60695-2-12 Glow Wire Flammability
Index (GWFI) at 960°C

KEY CUSTOMER CHALLENGES:
• Meet Aggressive Sustainability Goals - While brand owners have made
strong, public sustainability commitments – many are currently trailing far
behind goals
• Develop Strategies to Minimize Plastic Waste - Plastic waste remains
a global priority with consumers and legislatures – forcing brand owners to
implement tangible mitigation strategies
• Increase Post Consumer Recycle (PCR) Utilization & Post
Consumer Recycle Availability - Increasing the use of PCR is far more
challenging than many companies had anticipated
• Meet Legislation Requirements - Legislatures are drafting financial
penalties for companies unable or unwilling to meet post-consumer recycled
content targets
