Like other Mevopur products, they are formulated with raw materials tested to ISO 10993-1 and USP , European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3 and 3.1.5, USP and ICH Q3D.
Another bio-based solution that can help healthcare manufacturers decrease the carbon footprint of their products is the recently launched Versaflex™ HC BIO thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
The bio-derived TPE formulations provide critical performance features comparable to standard TPEs and silicone, such as weldability, kink resistance, 71 Shore A hardness, and tensile strength.

PK | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS:
Automotive, Consumer & Sporting Goods, Industrial,
Electrical & Electronics
Lower CO2 emissions in production
Better hydrolysis and chemical resistance
Comparable dimensional stability
Inherently lubricious for reduced wear and friction
Easier to mold
Cost competitive
Lower short- and long-term thermal performance
Harder to color
More limited process window
PBT/PET | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS:
Electrical & Electronics
Lower water absorption
Slightly higher rigidity/stiffness (for PBT)
Better abrasion resistance
Slightly better electric resistance
Lower toughness properties
Higher density
Lower short- and long-term temperature resistance
Lower hydrolysis resistance
PP | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS:
Automotive, Consumer Goods,
Lightweighting Applications
Lower water absorption
Slightly better chemical resistance
Lower density
Cost effective
Fiber reinforced PP can achieve similar or
better mechanical properties to PA 6,6 GF30

Slightly higher mechanical properties in the conditioned state
Slightly lower temperature resistance
Slightly lower chemical resistance
Narrow processing temperature range
PA/PP BLENDS | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS:
Automotive Interiors, Electronics,
Consumer & Sporting Goods
Good adhesion to polyolefin-based TPEs
Low permeability of water
Good processability
Lower density
Lower temperature resistance
Lower mechanical properties
POST-INDUSTRIAL RECYCLED SOLUTIONS
(PA 6,6/PA 6/PP) |
POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Automotive Accessories,
Industrial, Consumer & Sporting Goods
Between 50-80% recycled content
Good processability
Cost effective
Reduced chemical resistance
Wider range of mechanical specifications
Potential for slightly lower mechanical properties

reSound™ REC Recycled Content TPEs: The new AF 7210 series of reSound REC TPEs contain 51 – 59% recycled content, including a minimum of 37% from post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources, including closed-loop feedstock from within the automotive industry.
These new grades provide comparable performance to virgin TPEs and can reduce product carbon footprint by 8-18%* when compared to virgin equivalents.
Additional show highlights from Avient include other materials from its sustainability portfolio, including bio-based and recycled TPEs, polyolefins, nylons, and density-modified formulations.
