Homepage // News Center // Avient Develops New Hardness Grades in High-Performance Barricade™ Elastomers Portfolio The softest durometer in this product line, the new 50A grade, offers exceptional haptics for enhanced user comfort. Customizable and colorable, all Barricade elastomers are available globally, including the original 60, 70, and 80 Shore A grades.

To support this, Avient’s medical-grade colorants and additives are manufactured at sites certified under GMP or ISO 13485-2016 standards. It meets FDA and ISO 109931 standards for sulfone products and can be effective across a range of high-temperature polymers, including PEEK, PPSU, PES, PSU, PEI, LCP, and PPS, with a maximum service temperature exceeding 150°C. Versaflex™ HC & Versaflex™ HC BIO BT Series TPEs: grades formulated specifically to handle the complexities of healthcare and biopharmaceutical tubing, including excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low extractables, delivering comparable performance to competing materials such as silicone and PVC tubing, while providing lower Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) values than other materials* The Versaflex HC BIO BT218 grade is formulated with 40% bio-derived content and provides a sustainable substitute for traditional materials.

These new grades offer application and design engineers a durable solution that reduces disinfectant-related failures, like cracking and crazing, so products and surfaces can last longer and look better.”  Additionally, all grades are available in a natural color, allowing molded-in-color options for a broad range of durable, consumer goods. The flame-retardant grade in the series is formulated to meet UL-94 rating 5VA at 3.0 mm and V-0 at 1.5 mm.

Avient unveils new grades of Cesa™ Withstand™ to include antimicrobial and antifungal additives for TPU film-laminated products and devices in applications where combating microbe development is highly important.   These new grades are developed to enhance the performance of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film-laminated products and devices in applications where combating microbe development is highly important.   The two new available grades of Cesa Withstand for TPU film can meet the specific anti-bacterial and anti-mold protection needs of medical beds, transparent tent components, and ice bags.

OnFlex™ LO TPEs: a portfolio of low VOC / FOG and odor polymer grades that assist OEMs in meeting vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ) standards (VDA 278), these are used in HVAC dampers, fasteners and clips, coin trays, center consoles, door pockets and other interior parts. Resilience™ LS for LED Lenses: durable in extreme outdoor environments and highly-resistant to corrosion and chemicals, these flame-retardant vinyl grades meet thin wall UL V0 & 5VA while maintaining good impact resistance. It retains flexibility at temperatures below 0°C.
