This material, also known as a thermoplastic elastomer, has a soft, grippy feel and is highly colorable.

PolyCase needed a material with a specific density and uniformity, essential to making projectiles that would penetrate soft and intermediate barriers reliably, but that also offered a reduced risk of ricochet when hitting a hard target such as a hardened steel plate.

There are a variety of GLS™ soft touch TPEs designed to have excellent adhesion to a number of rigid plastic substrates.

PolyOne Reimagines Packaging from Soft-Touch to Sustainability with TPEs

It increases polymer IV in the melt phase, allowing for: • Improved rPET quality and performance • Higher target IV’s • Reduced solid state polymerization time • Increased productivity It also aids in the drive towards the circular economy and helps Brand Owners achieve sustainability targets through: • Reduced carbon emissions • Increased rPET content PCR rPET resin with • Reduced SSP or oven time • Reduced yellowing PCR rPET resin with INCREASED TARGET IV ColorMatrix rePrize allows for increased target IV and increased strength of the rPET material, enabling a wider range of product applications including carbonated soft drinks (CSD).
