Sustainable TPEs from Avient Featured at SPE TPO Conference
During the conference, Christopher Engel, advanced research & development engineer at Avient, will be giving a presentation on exploring bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) in automotive applications.
Made from renewable sources, materials like reSound™ BIO formulations help reduce carbon footprint and can perform like traditional TPEs.

For styrenic-based TPEs, the gate depth (D) should be 25-35% of the TPE component’s wall
thickness at the gate entrance; 35-50% for urethane-based TPEs.

The adhesion is categorized based on
adhesive failure (A)- if no TPE residue is left on the substrate, or cohesive failure
(C)- if the failure is in TPE.
Design Considerations
The material requirements of bondable TPE’s are different from conventional
TPE’s and it is the same for designing parts.
Prevent the TPE from flashing over areas on the substrate.

Generally, GLS TPEs will flow
much further in thinner walls than other types of TPEs.
Coloring
SBC TPEs have inherently superior color than most other TPEs.
Use a lower viscosity TPE.
