MATERIAL BREAKTHROUGH: VERSAFLEX™ CE BLUE JEAN STAIN RESISTANT TPES FOR WHITE OR LIGHT-COLORED PHONE CASES Phone case brands have struggled to design white or light-colored cases that do not stain when in contact with blue jeans. Avient has formulated a new material that offers blue jean stain resistance similar to that of silicone*, yet with all the benefits of using a TPE: increased design freedom, an efficient supply chain leading to faster speed to market, and lower total part costs.

TPE - The Tough Softie With TPE Without TPE

Product designers and manufacturers are turning to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) to replace silicone and natural rubber. VERSAFLEX™ TPEs allow manufacturers to switch to more efficient processes that eliminate the time- consuming and costly assembly operations needed for old parts. Protecting these electronics with durable housings that won’t dramatically increase the overall weight of the car can be challenging.
