Avient GLS thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material specialists identified a current TPE within the OnFlex™ S HF, non-halogenated, flame retardant portfolio that could be slightly modified to meet the application’s requirements. Avient determined the TPE would perform satisfactorily at an 85 Shore A hardness level. High-flow properties of OnFlex S HF TPE allow the gaskets to be overmolded in multi-cavity tools (up to 12 cavities per tool).

ARCHERY OEM C O M P O U N D B O W G R I P • UV resistant and colorable TPE for haptics • Substrate with structural integrity to support 70-80 lbs of torque during draw and excellent dimensional stability to ensure bow accuracy and precision • Reliability of supply while also offering comparable performance to incumbent materials Nymax™ 1010A PA 6 Nylon Formulation & Versaflex™ OM 6160 TPE KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

Lightweight, Strong, & Durable Polystrand™ Thermoplastic Composite Sandwich Panels provided lightweight, durability, and insulation requirements for camper Durable, lightweight and impact-resistant engineered composite panels for marine applications

Using phase barriers made of Avient’s OnFlex™ S HF, HF 7001, and Synprene or Synprene™ RT thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) will help you deliver on that promise. Easier to install – Our TPEs are more flexible than nylon and flexible PVC, which makes the MCCB easier to install, service and inspect. Low moisture absorption – While nylon is water- absorbent and loses dielectric performance in the presence of excessive water, our TPEs exhibit low moisture absorption and maintain the necessary dielectric properties over the MCCB’s service life.

Versaflex™ XP Wet Grip Thermoplastic Elastomer Typically, when TPEs get wet, the kinetic coefficient of friction (COF) performance is worse, resulting in a slippery surface. The Versaflex™ XP 2850 formulation is a specialty TPE developed to meet the challenge of wet environments, offering nearly double its dry kinetic COF when wet for better grip performance. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent COF performance (both wet and dry) • Outstanding abrasion and UV resistance • Easily colorable • Custom formulations available to achieve specific performance properties • Injection moldable (can be overmolded) and extrudable • Retains properties and performance when immersed in salt water MARKETS & APPLICATIONS This grip-enhancing TPE is colorable and customizable to meet the look and functional requirements of a broad range of consumer applications.
