Bio-based TPE grade with 40% renewable content offers a more sustainable alternative to traditional materials Glass-filled polyketone (PK) formulations provide a nylon alternative with excellent chemical resistance and a lower carbon footprint  Alternative Energy

Avient’s new Versaflex™ HC BIO TPE offers a sustainable alternative for biopharma tubing applications.     Developed as a more sustainable alternative for biopharmaceutical tubing, the initial Versaflex HC BIO BT218 grade is formulated with nearly 40% first-generation biomass content, resulting in a lower carbon footprint than traditional alternatives.  

With a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials.  Boat builders now have an innovative alternative based on strong, lightweight thermoplastic materials that can remove multiple production steps for better quality and economics,” said Matt Borowiec, general manager, PolyOne Advanced Composites.
