Furthermore, the mouse’s feet required a low-wear, low friction material. 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. A technical support team at Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and overmolding onto the rigid substrate.

Results are reported in mean CFU/sample over a 24-h period, and log10 reductions are calculated relative to a control substrate. Furthermore, zinc-based antimicrobials tend to FIGURE 1 Representative images for American Society for Testing and Materials E1428-15a testing wherein (A) demonstrates bacterial growth on a polymer substrate prewash and comparative images exhibiting varying levels of pink stainant caused by bacterial growth and secondary metabolites for substrates including column (B) a thermoplastic elastomer blend, (C) poly(etherimide), and (D) poly(butylene terephthalate).

Home // Sustainability // Sustainability at Avient // Products // Markets // Protective Materials Dyneema® has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any material on Earth, allowing armor solutions to maintain the highest levels of protection without sacrificing user comfort or maneuverability. Bio-based Dyneema® has a carbon footprint that is up to 90% lower than alternative materials and boasts the same performance as conventional Dyneema®.

In the dynamic telecommunications industry, 5G (fifth generation cellular network technology) is on the verge of being widely adopted, which will drive demand for 5G-optimized antennas as new infrastructures are rapidly deployed. These materials increase design flexibility, particularly for 3D antenna designs and complex shapes. In addition, our LDS materials can shorten lead times by supplying materials in just a few weeks to help increase speed to market.

Because GLS TPEs can be used and overmolded onto a wide range of substrates without the use of adhesives, they also offer greater design freedom. Unlike other materials, GLS TPEs are recyclable, which is becoming increasingly more important to all consumers. About PolyOne PolyOne Corporation, with 2015 revenues of $3.4 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

The formulation delivers high initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and various other substrates, yet offers low adhesion build-up to reduce the risk of residue when peeling off film. It can also be recycled as thermoplastic material. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
