HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE HVAC APPLICATIONS
• Low VOC/FOG – externally tested to VDA 278
and shows significant reductions in volatile
organic compounds and fogging when
compared to current TPE technologies
• Industry standards – helps to achieve VOC/
FOG performance standards for improved VIAQ
• Reduced manufacturing steps – does not
require pre-drying or post heating to reduce
VOC in parts produced
• Design optimization – color can be added at
the machine
• Easy to process – can be extruded, injection
molded and extrusion blow molded
• Recyclable – Our automotive TPEs are
compatible with most municipal recycle
streams
• Global support – Avient automotive TPEs
can be manufactured in locations that are
convenient to your operations, including
North America, Europe or China
To learn more about GLS TPEs for
automotive applications, contact Avient
at +1.844.4AVIENT (+1.844.428.4368).
This industry-leading
TPE technology reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by 50% and fogging by 35% versus existing TPEs
for HVAC applications.

50 psi).1 Use 50 percent to 75 percent of the injection pressure for the pack and hold pressure.
A GFRP usually is between 10 percent to 50 percent glass fiber by weight.
Experts recommend using inserts for large-volume production, and because a long dwell time in the barrel may cause degradation, use a minimum of 20 percent to 50 percent of barrel capacity per shot.1 Purging is also important.

TPE-1
and TPE-2 have a hardness of 45 and 50-55 Shore A, respectively.
The adhesion strength, i.e., peel strength, is measured by the force required to pull the elastomer from
the substrate and is reported as an average or a maximum strength over 50 mm of pulling.
TPE-1 and TPE-2 have a hardness of 45 and 50-55 Shore A, respectively.
