They allow complex designs without expensive
tooling, and performance characteristics (density,
corrosion and chemical resistance, mechanical
performance) can be customized depending on
application need.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized density offering a wide range of
specific gravities (1.5–11 gm/cm3)
• Formulated with partially bio-based resin from
renewable plant sources
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very
rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance that can be adapted
depending on base resin as required
• Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics and
cool touch
• Design flexibility and processing ease
• Food contact compliance available
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Applications in packaging and consumer goods in
which a more sustainable solution is preferred:
• Cosmetic caps and closures
• Perfume caps
• Spirit bottle caps
• Luxury boxes
• Handles and knobs
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
• Formulated with partially bio-based resin
from renewable plant sources
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint compared to
fossil feedstock alternatives
• Simplifies manufacturing and lowers cost
versus metal

The design team had two objectives: improve vibration damping performance of the boot to deliver a better user experience, and streamline manufacturing of the part to reduce system costs.
Currently, the company is producing 800,000 housings annually using the specialty TPE material.
Adding to the overall value of the solution, the TPE yields significantly less scrap than the previously used AES material.

The company also sought a vendor
who could provide rapid delivery and reliable material
supply to avoid production delays.
The Avient team
assessed the application’s technical and operational
requirements, and recommended GLS Versalloy™ XL-
9045-1 alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant
medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP.
Cost savings: The hose manufacturer is saving $33,000
per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous
material.
