The Avient GLS™
product families that include styrenic TPEs are Versaflex™, Dynaflex™, OnFlex, Versalloy™
and Versollan™.
The Versollan™ OM series are TPU alloys specifically
designed for thin-wall overmolding (both insert and two-shot molding) onto PC, ABS, and
PC/ABS substrates.
Certain specialty products, such as
some Versaflex™, Versalloy™ and Versollan™ grades are hygroscopic; thus they need
to be dried prior to molding.
