Thermoplastic Elastomers | Color & Design For guidance on materials for the housing, Biowave consulted PTA Corp., its molder, who in turn contacted its long-time partners on the GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers team at Avient. GLS recommended a Versalloy™ thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) alloy for excellent surface quality, easy processing with excellent flow, and high tear strength.

– PolyOne today announced a significant enhancement to existing thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) technology that will help products with nylon grips deliver superior resistance to oil and abrasion. Many products, from industrial tools to suitcases, use nylon grips that benefit greatly from the tactile qualities of overmolded TPEs,” said Charles Page, director of global marketing, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers.

With a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials.  Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels consist of thermoplastics, continuous glass-fiber face sheets, and foam cores. Boat builders now have an innovative alternative based on strong, lightweight thermoplastic materials that can remove multiple production steps for better quality and economics,” said Matt Borowiec, general manager, PolyOne Advanced Composites.

Thermoplastic Elastomers | Color & Design Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team turned to Avient for a selection of suitable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). A technical support team at Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and overmolding onto the rigid substrate.

reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomers can help brand owners create sustainable end-user products, with formulations utilizing up to 83% recycled content for consumer and transportation industries. Complēt™ Long Fiber Reinforced Structural Thermoplastics are injection molded composites with structural properties, able to replace metal and lightweight parts. Andrew Donovan, Avient Technology Group Lead, will discuss recycled content thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for automotive interiors at the Circular Economy Summit on Wednesday, November 8, from 11:50 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Palacio de Iturbide, room 3.  

Debuting at JEC World is a new formulation of Polystrand™ continuous-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites made from greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET) resin. Thermoplastic Composites: Complēt™ long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite formulations
