TPE Overmolding Solutions for Engineering Thermoplastics Rajesh Varma, Applications Development Manager Dan Liu, Materials Scientist Walter Ripple, Director of Marketing Krishna Venkataswamy, Director of Research and Development Abstract Demands continue to increase in various consumer applications for ergonomically designed products. To enhance the performance in the end use application and marketability of such consumer products the use of a thermoplastic elastomers as an overmold, onto the engineering plastic has continued to grow. However, most of the combinations were limited to hard thermoplastics only.

Examples include: • Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high- performance materials that require less plastic • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation • Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials and advance a circular economy • Composite solutions to support accelerated growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure investment as the world demands greater and faster connectivity Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. Operational Excellence Empowers us to respond to the voice of the customer with relentless continuous improvement. We also monitor earnings (defined as net income from continuing operations) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA before the impact of special items) as a supplement to our GAAP measures.
