BANGKOK – May 15, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, will display its comprehensive portfolio of sustainable and high-performance thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and specialty engineered materials during Plastics and Rubber Thailand 2024. Versaflex™ TF Adhesive TPEs for Textile Fabrics: a cost-effective alternative compared to traditional thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) adhesive films and traditional glues, offering a low VOC and non-intentionally added plasticizers, combining strong and seamless adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics with outstanding elastic recovery for high wearing comfort reSound™ BIO TPEs: contains 40 to 90 percent bio-based content within a wide hardness range (which can help reduce carbon footprint) and has performance characteristics that are comparable to standard TPEs

We serve multiple industries from healthcare and transportation to packaging and beyond with colorants and additives for thermoplastics, TPEs, high temperature resins, and fluoropolymers along with dispersions for thermosets. Our incredibly diverse product portfolio of specialty formulated, high-performance polymer materials are manufactured using thermoplastic resins and elastomers combined with advanced polymer additives, reinforcements, fillers, colorants and/or bio-based materials.

Low VOC / FOG Thermoplastic Elastomers OnFlex™ LO thermoplastic elastomers reduce VOCs, fogging, and odor to help satisfy Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standards in automotive HVAC components, fasteners, clips, and interior trays Vibration Damping Technology Versaflex™ VDT thermoplastic elastomers absorb shock to help support vehicle noise reduction in multiple applications

In overmolded applications, the thinner the layer of elastomer applied on the substrate, the harder it will feel. Figure 10 shows the apparent hardness of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) with different durometers, measured at different thicknesses.
