Versaflex™ HC and Versaflex™ HC BIO Thermoplastic Elastomers TPEs for Biopharmaceutical Tubing (BT) The Versaflex™ HC and Versaflex™ HC BIO BT series is formulated specifically to handle the complexities of biopharma tubing. Delivering on critical application demands, it provides weldability, kink resistance, and tensile strength performance comparable to leading medical tubing materials, including silicone and TPE. Offering reliable performance, optical clarity and expanded design freedom, these medical- grade TPEs may be customized to meet specific regulatory demands or application needs.

Our thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are designed to suit both consumer desires and product needs, including softness, vivid color or extreme clarity, and robust physical properties. For example, overmolding a TPE grip onto a hand mixer can improve comfort. A few of the options you can add with GLS TPEs: 1.

In line with the continuing drive towards greater sustainability and circularity in the industry, we will demonstrate our latest advances in materials science at Chinaplas, from specialty colorants and color prediction to bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and engineered materials,” says Say-Eng Lee, Vice President and General Manager, Color & Additives Asia for Avient. reSound™ BIO Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs): formulated with 35 to 75 percent bio-renewable feedstock without compromising property retention, adhesion strength in overmolding applications, or colorability. Versaflex™ CE 3130 Series TPEs: a range of non-blooming thermoplastic elastomers for demanding consumer electronics, automotive, and appliance applications requiring premium surface finish, enhanced feel, and improved aesthetics with UV, stain, abrasion, and scratch resistance.
