KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Fabric FX can be formulated to include properties
such as UV color protection and anti-scratch
performance
• Fabric FX can be processed on standard molding
machinery
• Different matrix materials can be enhanced with
Fabric FX, including ABS, PC/ABS, PB, and unfilled
or talc-filled PP
• There is no limitation on the graining that can be
used; the fabric effect will differ depending on the
grain effect engraved in the tool
• If parts are extruded or a mold is not engraved,
final parts will have an attractive speckled
appearance, but will not be textured
TYPICAL USES
Fabric FX concentrates are suitable for any application
that could benefit from an enhanced textile-like
appearance.

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.
Avient offers GLS TPE cap liner formulations that are
suitable for aqueous, acidic and low alcohol beverages
processed under ambient, pasteurized
or hot fill conditions.

Versaflex™ TF Adhesive Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs)
for Textile Fabrics
As consumers are becoming more health-
conscious, there’s a steady increase in the demand
for functional, lightweight, and comfortable fitness
clothing that is also visually appealing.
Compared to
TPU adhesive films and traditional glue, these new
TPE solutions can deliver a seamless and strong
adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics, enabiling
a uniform thickness and overall appearance for an
athletic, close-fitting, and non-bruising finish.
Versaflex TF Adhesive TPEs offer easy processing
and shaping, and can also be custom-colored
and cost-efficiently laser-cut.

reSound™ REC Recycled Content TPEs – AF 7210 Series
Recycled TPEs for Automotive Interiors
Sustainability continues to be a key driver in the
automotive industry.
They provide comparable performance to virgin
TPEs, with good UV stability and meet vehicle
interior air quality (VIAQ) standards for odor
and fogging.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Contains 51–59% recycled content, with a
minimum of 37% from PCR sources, including
closed-loop feedstock
• Provides comparable performance to virgin
TPEs
- Good UV stability
- Meets VIAQ standards for odor and fogging
• Supports compliance with the ELV Directive
• Provides a more sustainable alternative to
virgin TPE grades and supports a reduction in
product carbon footprint (PCF)
• Can be injection molded and overmolded
onto PP
KEY APPLICATIONS
The reSound REC TPEs – AF 7210 series has
been developed for use in automotive interior
applications such as cup holder mats, phone
charging mats, peddle covers, boot/trunk lining,
HVAC flaps and other center console parts.
