CASE STUDY: BERGAMID™ POLYMER FORMULATIONS & GLS™ TPES Challe nge Accepted. Avient material scientists found the perfect combination with a custom rigid nylon formulation for the handle paired with a soft GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) in the grip areas. Beyond finding the best material combination—Bergamid™ nylon copolymer and GLS™ TPEs—our global presence and expertise across an array of specialty polymers and colorants, combined with local service and support, helped Victorinox to accelerate development work, streamline production and reach their design goals.

PolyOne’s GLS Versaflex™ TPE was selected for several functional components in Schneider Electric’s Mobiya™ TS 120, a portable, solar-powered LED lamp that combines lighting and mobile phone charging. We are pleased to help Schneider Electric bring the basic necessity of light and power to those who need it,” said Walter Ripple, vice president and general manager, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers.

This new GLS™ Versaflex™ OM TPE material bonds tightly to nylon substrates to deliver a soft, yet resilient grip for safety, ergonomics and comfort. Testing under ASTM D3389 proved that this new material delivers 40 percent better abrasion resistance than a leading competitor’s product, as well as incumbent GLS nylon overmolding grades.
