The new grades were formulated to provide a
functional replacement for the previous used prime
materials while incorporating 50% recycled ocean-
bound plastic content.
Using Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint Calculator,
which has been third-party certified by TÜV Rhineland
to ISO 14067 standard, the new Avient formulations
enable a 50% carbon footprint reduction compared to
the materials previously used.

HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE HVAC APPLICATIONS
• Low VOC/FOG – externally tested to VDA 278
and shows significant reductions in volatile
organic compounds and fogging when
compared to current TPE technologies
• Industry standards – helps to achieve VOC/
FOG performance standards for improved VIAQ
• Reduced manufacturing steps – does not
require pre-drying or post heating to reduce
VOC in parts produced
• Design optimization – color can be added at
the machine
• Easy to process – can be extruded, injection
molded and extrusion blow molded
• Recyclable – Our automotive TPEs are
compatible with most municipal recycle
streams
• Global support – Avient automotive TPEs
can be manufactured in locations that are
convenient to your operations, including
North America, Europe or China
To learn more about GLS TPEs for
automotive applications, contact Avient
at +1.844.4AVIENT (+1.844.428.4368).
This industry-leading
TPE technology reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by 50% and fogging by 35% versus existing TPEs
for HVAC applications.

Size the inside diameter of bosses at 50-60%
of thread engagement.
Aim for 75% of wall thickness
for a low-shrink material, and 50% of wall
thickness for a high-shrink material, with a draft
angle from ¼° to 1°.

50 psi).1 Use 50 percent to 75 percent of the injection pressure for the pack and hold pressure.
A GFRP usually is between 10 percent to 50 percent glass fiber by weight.
Experts recommend using inserts for large-volume production, and because a long dwell time in the barrel may cause degradation, use a minimum of 20 percent to 50 percent of barrel capacity per shot.1 Purging is also important.
