Formulated with between 20 and 100 percent post-industrial nylon materials, such as recycled carpet, Nymax™ PIR post-industrial recycled nylon offers comparable performance to prime nylon grades, including high strength, durability, impact resistance, and weather resistance. reSound™ OM (overmolding) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane, and offer hardness levels and performance comparable to standard TPEs. Consisting of four overmolding grades compatible with rigid polypropylene and one suited to ABS, all grades are formulated for durability, property retention, and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs.

THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER FOR OVERMOLDING ATTRACTIVE, PRACTICAL HANDGRIPS ONTO ABS RESIN © 2021, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more about OnFlex-S™ TPEs, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) or visit avient.com THE CHALLENGE Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers, a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced quality, durability and aesthetics. THE SOLUTION Avient was asked to suggest a suitable TPE for this application. High-end product line = competitive advantage: With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully designed and produced a new, high-end product line that compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of appearance, performance and durability

CASE STUDY: BERGAMID™ POLYMER FORMULATIONS & GLS™ TPES Challe nge Accepted. For engineers at Victorinox, the answer was to make it even more durable and user-friendly than previous versions. Although a very durable material, metal can present a challenge as it can become slippery when wet.
