Thermoplastic
elastomers (TPEs) are an excellent solution.
Consider applicator designs that use TPEs to enable
your products to be applied more precisely.
TPEs are compatible with
most municipal recycle streams and
special grades can be formulated with
renewable content.

CASE STUDY: VERSAFLEX™ OM TPES
THE CHALLENGE
Millions of people of all ages play video games.
THE SOLUTION
While researching other possibilities online, the company
found Avient and requested additional information on its
thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).
Additionally, compared
to silicone rubber, the TPE is easier and faster to process,
as it requires no pre-mixing, curing or adhesives.

reSound™ OM Thermoplastic Elastomers
Bio-based TPEs Deliver on Performance
Designed to support sustainability goals, the
reSound OM TPE formulations utilize between
40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived
from sugarcane and offer hardness levels and
property retention comparable to traditional
petroleum-based TPEs.
Available in four overmolding grades compatible
with polypropylene (PP), and one grade that is
suited for overmolding onto ABS, all grades are
formulated for durability, delivering property
retention and UV resistance comparable to
traditional TPEs.
