Versaflex™ HC and Versaflex™ HC BIO Thermoplastic Elastomers TPEs for Biopharmaceutical Tubing (BT) The Versaflex™ HC and Versaflex™ HC BIO BT series is formulated specifically to handle the complexities of biopharma tubing. Delivering on critical application demands, it provides weldability, kink resistance, and tensile strength performance comparable to leading medical tubing materials, including silicone and TPE. Offering reliable performance, optical clarity and expanded design freedom, these medical- grade TPEs may be customized to meet specific regulatory demands or application needs.

Our thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are designed to suit both consumer desires and product needs, including softness, vivid color or extreme clarity, and robust physical properties. For example, overmolding a TPE grip onto a hand mixer can improve comfort. A few of the options you can add with GLS TPEs: 1.

Avient Announces Industry-First Carbon Negative and Carbon Neutral Thermoplastic Elastomers   This includes offering lower-carbon alternatives to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) without sacrificing performance, expanding our portfolios to include the use of bio-renewable feedstock and post-industrial or post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, and introducing new materials and services focused on meeting specific customer needs while helping to advance a circular economy.  reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs: These TPE formulations offer an industry-first cradle-to-gate negative, neutral, or near-zero product carbon footprint (PCF) while delivering comparable performance to traditional TPEs.
