A range of standard colors also helps molders and extruders manage inventory and working capital.

The liquid is then extruded through bushings and are coated (sized) to help bundle the filaments and prepare the fibers for composite resin interface.

The 33 most popular colors from our Epic standard portfolio are now even better—with improved opacity and the ability to cure at a lower temperature with our new ‘flexible’ cure profile. Wilflex Epic Rio RFU Colors also provide exceptional wet-on-wet printing capabilities, an optimal soft hand, excellent stretch, and a matte finish.* HIGHLIGHTS • 33 most popular industry colors • Flexible cure profile (266°F/130°C to 320°F/160°C) • Excellent opacity • Wet-on-wet printing • Matte finish* • ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® and ZDHC MRSL Conformance Level 3 certifications** * Gloss may increase when cured at temperatures above 266°F (130°C) ** To learn about compliance standards applicable to specifics inks, please contact your Avient Specialty Inks distributor.

Homepage // News Center // Avient Expands Fatty-Food-Contact Materials Portfolio with Versaflex™ FFC TPEs Avient Expands Fatty-Food-Contact Materials Portfolio with Versaflex™ FFC TPEs. SHANGHAI – June 1, 2022 – Avient today launched a new family of Versaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials developed for fatty-food-contact (FFC) applications that must comply with migration limit standards in Europe and North America.

Silicones and the standard TPEs traditionally used in cosmetic packaging present several tradeoffs. Good processability is a key benefit of chemically compatible TPEs. For more information on chemically compatible TPEs, download the application bulletin.

CASE STUDY: VERSAFLEX™ OM TPES THE CHALLENGE Millions of people of all ages play video games. THE SOLUTION While researching other possibilities online, the company found Avient and requested additional information on its thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). Additionally, compared to silicone rubber, the TPE is easier and faster to process, as it requires no pre-mixing, curing or adhesives.
