Thermoplastic Elastomers
How TPEs can help medical and pharmaceutical manufacturers
meet growing global demand
2© 2020 Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012
THE OPPORTUNITY: EFFICIENT
ALTERNATIVES TO VULCANIZED RUBBER
Is there a capacity crunch on the horizon?
One
proven approach is to replace traditional vulcanized
rubber materials with thermoplastic elastomers,
better known as TPEs.
THE SOLUTION: EVOLVED TPEs PERFORM
FOR HEALTHCARE APPLICATIONS
Recent thermoplastic elastomer advancements
give manufacturers the ability to use specialized
TPEs for healthcare to modernize processing and
minimize secondary operations.

OnFlex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers
Solutions for Automotive Applications
To keep up with industry demands, regulatory
challenges and end-user preferences, it’s imperative
to consider the influence of material specifications
at the beginning of the product development cycle.
Known for offering tight seals and reducing
vibration and noise, certain thermoplastic elastomers
(TPEs), like OnFlex™ grades, may be better suited
for your particular application than the historically
incumbent materials, like general purpose TPEs,
thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV), and thermoplastic
polyolefins (TPO).

CASE STUDY: GLS™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS
THE LOGICAL CHOICE
FOR ACQUA PLOSEChalle
nge Accepted.
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.
