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.

HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE HVAC APPLICATIONS
• Low VOC/FOG – externally tested to VDA 278
and shows significant reductions in volatile
organic compounds and fogging when
compared to current TPE technologies
• Industry standards – helps to achieve VOC/
FOG performance standards for improved VIAQ
• Reduced manufacturing steps – does not
require pre-drying or post heating to reduce
VOC in parts produced
• Design optimization – color can be added at
the machine
• Easy to process – can be extruded, injection
molded and extrusion blow molded
• Recyclable – Our automotive TPEs are
compatible with most municipal recycle
streams
• Global support – Avient automotive TPEs
can be manufactured in locations that are
convenient to your operations, including
North America, Europe or China

HOW AVIENT CUSTOM POLYMER FORMULATIONS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE FOR 5G BASE
STATION ANTENNA PHASE SHIFTS
Faster Design Qualification & Shorter Lead
Times – Avient can custom formulate materials
to specific Dk values, sample within one week,
and deliver on production quantities within two
to three weeks.

Temperature fluctuations
in the environment where the cable is installed
can mean the armoring and the other cable
materials expand and contract at different ratios,
further increasing the risk of cracking in the
cable jacket.

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
