GLS automotive TPEs are designed to improve driver and passenger safety and comfort.

This new GLS™ Versaflex™ OM TPE material bonds tightly to nylon substrates to deliver a soft, yet resilient grip for safety, ergonomics and comfort. With a standard Shore A hardness of 60, the material can be customized to other hardness levels to meet specific customer requirements. Sandy Wagner Marketing Communications Manager PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers +1 815-385-8500 sandy.wagner@avient.com

GLS produces standard products ranging in hardness from 3 Shore A (softest) to 95 Shore A (hardest). GLS reports hardness values utilizing the 10 second reading. GLS™ TPEs with Antimicrobial Technologies

GLS 285-056 exhibits good aging properties at 70°C for at least one week. In this presentation, the development of new 40 shore A and 60 shore A versions with prime adhesion properties and universality of overmolding to various polyamides has been introduced. The initial and final tensile strength and modulus results of Versaflex OM6240 (40 shore A universal polyamide OM TPE) and Versaflex OM6258 (60 shore A) after aging at 70°C for one week have been recorded.

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. THE IMPACT Avient’s expertise in materials for medical device applications helped this customer make a smooth transition to the GLS TPV.

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. This custom Versaflex grade provides 60 Shore A hardness and superior tear strength.

GLS™ TPEs with Antimicrobial Technologies This specialty line of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers has imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more (log 3) and resist fungal growth to protect molded plastic parts. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Protects finished part by inhibiting microbial and fungi growth • Extends useful life of finished TPE parts by controlling deterioration caused by mildew or mold fungus • Increases product durability, preserves surface integrity, and minimizes odors MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Suitable for high-touch surfaces and applications, GLS TPEs with antimicrobial technologies add value in the consumer, packaging and automotive markets.
