It required a high temperature and a strong injection pressure to bond to the acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene (ABS) substrate, which caused the resin to deform. Product developers reported that they needed a better TPE to provide superior bonding performance with ABS without requiring high temperature and pressure during 2K molding. Avient recommended an OnFlex™-S multicomponent TPE, which offers excellent adhesion to ABS and can be molded at lower temperatures and injection pressures than competitive products.

Available in a wide range of stock and standard colors, Omnicolor colorants are suitable for use with over 25 different polymers, including PVC, nylon and ABS.
