GLS™ TPEs - Injection Molding Guide GLS™ TPEs - Overmolding Guide TPEs for Home Appliances

CLEVELAND – May 10, 2021 – Avient today announced the addition of three proprietary, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) formulations that contain antimicrobial additives to its GLS™ TPE portfolio. In response, Avient developed GLS TPEs with antimicrobial additives, available as Versaflex™ and OnFlex™ grades. GLS TPEs with antimicrobial additives are commercially available in the United States and Asia.

The Brooks design team members turned to Avient for help developing a solution that would work seamlessly with Brooks’ proprietary TPE blend used in the shoe's midsoles.  Working together, teams from both companies created a customized TPE material that matched the performance of the Brooks TPE blend. Switching to Avient's GLS™ TPEs enabled Brooks to move to a single injection molding process, yielding a 30-40 percent reduction in energy usage and a projected savings of $80,000 to $100,000 annually.
