HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE FASTENERS AND CLIPS
• Low compression set – coupled with good
stress relaxation, our automotive TPEs are
designed to maintain a good seal over time and
reduce noise generated by vibration
• High temperature performance – Avient
automotive TPEs provide good sealing
performance in temperatures up to
100°C/212°F
• Bonding performance - strong chemical bond
to polypropylene, polyethylene,
and polyamide
• Process flexibility - grades can be both
injection molded and extruded
• Easy to color - can be colored at the machine
• Reduced production steps - some grades do
not require pre-drying
• Low VOC/FOG - OnFlex HT™ has been externally
tested to VDA 278 and is proven to help satisfy
vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ) regulatory
requirements
• Single source supply – we can streamline your
supply chain with the ability to provide polymer
colorants, engineered thermoplastics, and
thermoplastic elastomers from a single source
• Global support - we provide production,
technical, and commercial support in locations
convenient to your operations, including North
America, Europe, and Asia

In addition to cost savings, replacing metal would enable
the closure producer to provide its spirits customers with
customization in density and color, because Gravi-Tech
formulations are colorable, and can be tuned to replicate
up to 5 times the density of traditional polymers.

The final solution was pre-colored to match the brand’s
existing color palette and eliminate the need for
secondary processing steps.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-04/versalloy-medical-tubing-case-study.pdf
The hose manufacturer decided to explore other
material options that would meet requirements such
as excellent colorability, good surface appearance,
high flow for optimal productivity, and of course,
compliance with U.S.
In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow,
the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity
and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the
competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce
system costs.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives
Light Stabilizers for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens
Non UV-stabilized fibers exposed to sunlight can
suffer color fading and molecular changes that
degrade their chemical and mechanical properties,
leading to fraying and breakages.
KEY BENEFITS
Avient’s UV stabilizers for fibers provide the
following benefits:
• High active ingredient loading options available
• Little or no effect on processing speeds so
plant productivity can be maintained at the
highest levels
• Resistance to interaction with fertilizers,
pesticides and bleaching agents in the
manufacturing and end-use environment
• Can be combined with colors and with other
additives (e.g., flame retardants) into a single
combination concentrate for convenience
• Product guidance and technical assistance
from our experts

Nucleating Agents
Colors are used in the medical industry for
brand recognition, the coding of different
pharmaceuticals, or visual appeal.
However,
pigments used to color plastic parts can cause
warping or shrinking, leading to dosing inaccuracy
or even malfunctioning healthcare devices.
