The highly automated and dedicated TPE line is the first of its kind in India, and is designed to manufacture GLS™ TPEs exclusively to maintain the highest levels of material quality.

The membrane would be made from a custom-engineered GLS™ Dynaflex™ TPE overmolded onto the shell.

Switching to Avient's GLS™ TPEs enabled Brooks to move to a single injection molding process, yielding a 30-40 percent reduction in energy usage and a projected savings of $80,000 to $100,000 annually. 

Our GLS™ line of thermoplastic elastomers from a wide range of technologies to suit an even wider variety of purposes

NEWLY EXPANDED Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs): a family of specialty and customizable TPEs with a broad range of performance characteristics and durometers, including grades formulated without animal derivatives, making them useful for countless injection molding or overmolding applications. The Versaflex HC BIO BT218 formulation was developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing and deliver excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of extractables.

Versaflex™ HC BT218 TPEs for Biopharmaceutical tubing provide weldability, kink resistance, and tensile strength performance. Versaflex™ HC 2110-57B TPEs comply with ISO 10993-4, ISO 10993-5, and USP Class VI and are suitable for Ethylene Oxide (EtO) sterilization without residue or allergens.

Versaflex™ PF TPEs: specially developed to create a co-extruded tack layer for surface protective films that can be easily applied and maintain tack with minimal build, peel smoothly during removal, and remove entirely with little to no residue or ghosting. Versaflex™ TF Adhesive TPEs for Textile Fabrics: a cost-effective alternative compared to traditional thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) adhesive films and traditional glues, offering a low VOC and non-intentionally added plasticizers, combining strong and seamless adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics with outstanding elastic recovery for high wearing comfort
