The company first considered silicone rubber but found it had several drawbacks. Adding to the list of challenges, silicone rubber carries a high price tag. Silicone rubber was out.

Until now, silicone has been the only material for white or light-colored phone cases that resists staining when in contact with blue jeans. Enhance supply chain flexibility – Unlike silicone, which is limited by a complex silica mining supply chain and manufactured in silicone-only factories, Avient TPEs can be processed by any injection molding manufacturer. Reduce overall costs – Versaflex CE 3320-70 has lower manufacturing and total part costs compared to silicone.

The manufacturer produces 7.5 million cases per year, and was using liquid injection molded (LIM) silicone for this part. However, the silicone was sticking to the mold and inner workings of the molding machine. With the Avient material, the manufacturer is expected to save $122,000 per year vs. silicone.
