SELECTION GUIDE
reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomers
Post-industrial and post-consumer recycled TPEs
To help brands reach their sustainability goals,
reSound™ REC post-industrial recycled (PIR) and post-
consumer recycled (PCR) TPE formulations utilize
9–83% recycled content. reSound REC TPEs can be
overmolded onto polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate
(PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and PC/ABS
blends, and are suitable for injection molding.
Formulated for the consumer and transportation
markets, reSound recycled content TPE grades can
be used in applications such as personal care
products, lawn and garden tools, outdoor goods,
office supplies, footwear, houseware durables,
consumer electronics, and automotive interior and
under-the-hood components.

MATERIAL BREAKTHROUGH: VERSAFLEX™ CE BLUE JEAN STAIN RESISTANT
TPES FOR WHITE OR LIGHT-COLORED PHONE CASES
Phone case brands have struggled to design white or light-colored cases that do not stain when in contact
with blue jeans.
Avient has formulated a new material that offers blue jean stain resistance similar to that of silicone*, yet with
all the benefits of using a TPE: increased design freedom, an efficient supply chain leading to faster speed to
market, and lower total part costs.
