Colorants can meet brand standards, UV packages can offer additional protection for applications with high UV exposure, lubricants can minimize wear and tear, flame retardants can provide flame, smoke, and/or toxicity compliance, and additional durability can ensure your products perform in extreme climates (hot or cold). Add internal lubrication to improve the wear resistance of plastics, increasing reliability and durability

Ensure Durability & Maintain Visual Appeal They are developed to improve impact resistance at both room temperatures and subzero conditions compared to no additives added, enabling both product durability and visual appeal.

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.

Thermoplastics: Trilliant™ HC high performance formulations deliver excellent chemical resistance and durability for medical device enclosures and components. Overmolded thermoplastic elastomers: Versaflex™ HC solutions provide excellent chemical resistance to alcohol, bleach and peroxide based antiseptics, and bonds to chemically resistant substrate resins for superior adhesion and durability across a wide range of applications.

Provides good stiffness, durability, impact resistance and UV stability Lighter Weight & Greater Durability for Luxury Vehicles Can eco-conscious materials also bring durability and heat resistance?

Versaflex™ TF Adhesive Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) for Textile Fabrics As consumers are becoming more health- conscious, there’s a steady increase in the demand for functional, lightweight, and comfortable fitness clothing that is also visually appealing. Compared to TPU adhesive films and traditional glue, these new TPE solutions can deliver a seamless and strong adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics, enabiling a uniform thickness and overall appearance for an athletic, close-fitting, and non-bruising finish. Versaflex TF Adhesive TPEs offer easy processing and shaping, and can also be custom-colored and cost-efficiently laser-cut.

reSound™ REC Recycled Content TPEs – AF 7210 Series Recycled TPEs for Automotive Interiors Sustainability continues to be a key driver in the automotive industry. They provide comparable performance to virgin TPEs, with good UV stability and meet vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ) standards for odor and fogging. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Contains 51–59% recycled content, with a minimum of 37% from PCR sources, including closed-loop feedstock • Provides comparable performance to virgin TPEs - Good UV stability - Meets VIAQ standards for odor and fogging • Supports compliance with the ELV Directive • Provides a more sustainable alternative to virgin TPE grades and supports a reduction in product carbon footprint (PCF) • Can be injection molded and overmolded onto PP KEY APPLICATIONS The reSound REC TPEs – AF 7210 series has been developed for use in automotive interior applications such as cup holder mats, phone charging mats, peddle covers, boot/trunk lining, HVAC flaps and other center console parts.

IMPROVE FINISH AND PERFORMANCE CHEMICALLY COMPATIBLE TPES FOR COSMETIC PACKAGING Functionality and differentiation are key when designing cosmetic packaging. Ability to add surface texture – Our injection molded TPEs are easily processed in commonly used, complex molds. Simpler production process – Overmolding Versaflex PKG TPEs is an effective method for simplifying a two-step process into a single step
