OnFlex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers Solutions for Automotive Applications To keep up with industry demands, regulatory challenges and end-user preferences, it’s imperative to consider the influence of material specifications at the beginning of the product development cycle. Known for offering tight seals and reducing vibration and noise, certain thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), like OnFlex™ grades, may be better suited for your particular application than the historically incumbent materials, like general purpose TPEs, thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV), and thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO).

CASE STUDY: GLS™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS THE LOGICAL CHOICE FOR ACQUA PLOSEChalle nge Accepted. When closurelogic turned to Avient for material selection help, the team developed a GLS™ TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) based on a stable, low migration TPE with a lower processing temperature compared to competitive TPEs, thus resulting in even fewer volatiles. Lined with TPE, closurelogic caps have outstanding tightness for sealability of both one-way and refillable bottles, while maintaining good removal torque.
