Consider combining comfort with color and performance properties using enhanced soft touch GLS™ TPE materials for even better results. When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and virtually seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS). Consumer products that use a TPE grip have been used extensively to provide ergonomic benefits, particularly for usability and safety.

CASE STUDY: POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES REDUCE WEIGHT, ADD STRENGTH TO INDUSTRY-FIRST SNOWBOARD BINDINGS Discover how Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics can add lightweight strength and durability to your application. However, the molded thermoset composites traditionally used in binding applications are often brittle and lack the processing versatility to allow for significant customization. Injection overmolding with thermoplastic composite laminates combines the advantages of injection molding—the ability to create complex shapes and fast cycle times—with the lightweight strength and durability of continuous fiber reinforcement.

Examples include: • Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports • Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint • Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
