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.

In the past, excellent aesthetics often meant
compromising processing properties or performance
attributes, like slow demolding speed, abrasion or
stain resistance.
UV Resistance Test - 0.68W/m2 @ 45°C expose
168 hours
Anti-abrasion Test - H18 wheel load 1kg @
500 cycles
Surface/Non-blooming - Visual observation
Touch Feel - Hand touch
Mechanical Properties - Refer to hardness, gravity,
tensile strength, elongation, MFI, and flexural
modulus, which are tested using ASTM methods
Processing - Demold speed & cycle time
TEST RESULTS
Comprehensively, the Versaflex CE 3130
non-blooming series performed better than
competitive materials in balancing functional
properties and processing.

In addition to an increased speed to market, our custom formulations boost your
design flexibility and offer better performance-to-cost ratios as compared to traditionally used materials.
Faster Speed-to-Market and Increased Design
Flexibility – The sampling and validating of
thermoplastic formulations is faster than that
of traditionally used materials such as ceramics
or printed circuit boards (PCB).
