Avient’s
manufacturing processes can leverage strength-
to-weight ratios and anisotropy to make highly
engineered composites that optimize material
usage.
Thermoplastic chemistry enables CFRTP
composites to be incorporated into high volume
manufacturing processes such as compression and
injection molding as well as into structures with
dissimilar materials via overmolding, adhesive
bonding, and thermal lamination.
The Glasforms continuous,
automated pultrusion manufacturing process
creates constant cross section profiles of any
pre-determined length with consistent, uniform
quality, and exceptional mechanical performance.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SELECTED VERSAFLEX PF TACK LAYER FORMULATIONS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Versaflex™ PF formulations are specially
developed for the manufacture of co-extruded
surface protective films that apply easily, maintain
tack with minimal build, peel smoothly and
remove completely with little-to-no residue or
ghosting.
In addition to simplifying processing,
Versaflex PF formulations reduce volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions during
manufacturing.
BENEFITS OF VERSAFLEX PF FOR
SURFACE PROTECTIVE FILMS:
• Customizable tack
• Single-step manufacturing process (co-
extrusion)
• Low volatile organic compound (VOC)
emissions during manufacturing
• Eliminates secondary coating and drying
operations
• Eliminates hazardous liquid chemicals
compared to solvent systems
• Reduces converting costs versus coating
• Reduces energy consumption
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Versaflex PF formulations, customizable
based on desired level of tack, are co-extruded
with protective films to provide just the right
amount of protection during the fabrication,
assembly, shipment, storage and installation of
finished goods in many industries and end-use
applications including:
• Optical films and display panels for consumer
electronics
• Home appliances
• Construction and building materials
• Furniture and cabinetry
• Automotive and other transportation

APPLICATION BULLETIN
Healthcare use limitations apply—see below.
It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including
the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.

These pellets are sent to manufacturers who reheat the pellets,
then form the material into the size and shape needed for their products.
Energy Efficient
PET takes less energy to manufacture than alternative materials like glass.
Also, the more rPET used in
manufacturing, the higher the acetaldehyde levels, which can lead to odor and taste
issues.

HellermannTyton, a global leader in designing and
manufacturing fastening solutions for the automotive
industry, wanted to improve upon the bent steel plate it was
using to fabricate a complicated seat fastening device for a
leading automotive manufacturer.
The
new seat securement part has already been adopted by one
OEM customer, and we are confident that other manufacturers
will come to us for this lightweight, cost-efficient solution.”
