Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team turned to Avient for a selection of suitable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).
To meet the manufacturer’s goals for the mouse grip, a clear TPE overmolding material, GLS Versaflex™, was formulated for improved ergonomics and comfort, strong chemical resistance, and excellent bonding to the ABS substrate.
TPEs that are ideal for healthcare, consumer goods and cutting-edge electronics such as wearables

At the show, PolyOne will also feature a number of its specialty solutions, including a new aluminum cap liner technology, GLS™ Versaflex™ PKG 4190 thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
This advanced material helps preserve taste and aroma of sensitive beverages, and requires lower processing temperatures than traditional TPEs to save energy and enhance manufacturing flexibility.

The new formulations are Avient’s first PCR-containing TPE technology developed primarily for overmolding polycarbonate (PC), acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS blends in applications from consumer electronics, cosmetics packaging, and personal care items to power tools and toys.
They offer a performance property profile, including adhesion, surface quality, and soft touch feel, comparable to prime TPEs without recycled content.
Our new reSound REC family of PCR-based TPEs addresses these challenges and reflects Avient’s firm commitment to sustainability and accelerating the transition towards circularity.”

Specifically,
these additives have been proven to be effective
inhibiting E. coli and MRSA across these resins:
• TPE/TPU • PET
• HDPE • ABS
• POM • PP
• PC
Custom formulations can be validated for various
resin types, and under specific processing
conditions, at an independent testing lab to ensure
results in commercialization.
