HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN HOME APPLIANCE
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET
• Reduced appliance movement and noise –
vibration damping technology reduces
movement and noise of the appliance
when in use
• Resistance to wear and tear – TPEs are proven
to maintain their shape and resist tears with
low compression set
• Better performance and function – increase
design freedom with material selection
flexibility
• Improved processability – boost efficiency
with injection molding processing and reduce
overall production cycle time
and costs
• Reduced number of part defects – eliminate
secondary operations to achieve consistent
and controlled results

appliances, visit www.avient.com or call

THERMAL INERTIA
Thermal conductivity has traditionally been the
primary metric considered for material selection
to manage heat.
