Uncover the multiple benefits available when you add TPEs to your products
Specific applications where TPEs can help include:
Soft-touch products: Soft TPEs overmolded onto rigid thermoplastic substrates reduce “muscle effort” for a given operation such as turning a dial, pressing a lever or pushing a button.

Again, TPEs can help.
TPEs work to reduce costs in other ways too.
Global supplier DENSO, for example, was designing parts for an HVAC system and asked Avient to find a replacement for thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) material that would eliminate the need to pre-dry.

Thermoset vs Thermoplastic (What’s the difference?)
Common examples are polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA), polyketone (PK), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE).
Amorphous vs Semi-Crystalline Thermoplastics
An amorphous thermoplastic material has no specific molecular structure while a semi-crystalline polymer has some order.
