TPEs made from styrenic block copolymers (SBC) such as Kraton® D or G Polymers have special properties that can enhance the success of a finished part. Processing Styrenic Block Copolymer TPEs from GLS GLS produces standard products ranging in hardness from 3 Shore A (softest) to 95 Shore A (hardest). 

Avient recognizes the indispensable role water plays in sustaining life and promoting well-being. While we have collected water data from our manufacturing facilities since 2012, increased water data accuracy allows us to better understand our water sources, withdrawal rates, and discharges. In line with our commitment to conserve biodiversity, Avient has developed a biodiversity risk assessment framework that draws upon data from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Biodiversity Risk Filter.

As this existing steel pipeline infrastructure ages, the need for repair or replacement to prevent failures from corrosion increases; 80% of inspection costs are spent on monitoring corrosion of steel pipes.* To improve longevity in these critical components, the industry is shifting to alternatives such as spoolable reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP). To meet these needs, pipe manufacturers bring in reinforcements: Avient’s thermoplastic composites.   Video Polystrand Unidirectional Composite Tape Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite tape is slit to custom widths from 2" to 24".

For brand owners and OEMs to achieve this, they need materials free of surface blooms and ready to stand up to everyday wear and tear. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Avient makes no warranties or guarantees respecting suitability of either Avient’s products or the information for your process or end-use application.
