Homepage // News Center // PolyOne OnFlex™ LO TPEs Awarded for Low VOC Technology that Improves the Automotive Interior Experience OnFlex LO, PolyOne’s newest ground-breaking TPE technology, reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by up to 50 percent versus existing TPEs, and minimizes fogging and odor in interior automotive components. Suitable for numerous components, including HVAC seals, buttons, controls, coin trays and drink holder mats, OnFlex LO can be overmolded onto polyolefin substrates using a two-shot injection molding process.
