Today’s portable speaker manufacturers are searching for materials they can count on to protect against water and dust, but they also need durability and expanded design possibilities.

IMPROVE FINISH AND PERFORMANCE CHEMICALLY COMPATIBLE TPES FOR COSMETIC PACKAGING Functionality and differentiation are key when designing cosmetic packaging. In addition, they process easily on standard injection molding machines and can be overmolded to simplify your production process. Ability to add surface texture – Our injection molded TPEs are easily processed in commonly used, complex molds.

Avient collaborated with a leading global automotive OEM and its injection molder to eliminate paint from a new vehicle’s interior. Suitable for standard injection molding machinery, Smartbatch™ FX reduced the cost per part by 30 percent or more compared to painted parts.

HVAC doors are typically produced by injection molding two parts that provide structural strength and air sealing performance. However, in this case, designers had reduced the thickness of the part wall significantly to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent. Avient engineered a new customized formulation for the part, which provided both the processability required for extremely short cycle injection-compression molding, as well as including an additive to stabilize the material when in contact with copper.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent COF performance (both wet and dry) • Outstanding abrasion and UV resistance • Easily colorable • Custom formulations available to achieve specific performance properties • Injection moldable (can be overmolded) and extrudable • Retains properties and performance when immersed in salt water MARKETS & APPLICATIONS This grip-enhancing TPE is colorable and customizable to meet the look and functional requirements of a broad range of consumer applications. The material may be injection molded, overmolded or extruded, offering expanded design freedom for adding a touch of security and reducing slippage where water can otherwise make products slippery
