Our shared commitment to sustainability motivates us to develop products that solve those challenges,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.
Available in durometers of 60 and 80 Shore A, the formulations in this reSound TPE series are naturally opaque, offering an appealing aesthetic or the option to easily color if desired.
They are also customizable, but formulation changes could impact the product carbon footprint and will require recalculation.

New Colorant Chromatics™ Metallic Effect Pre-Colored Sulfone Formulations Launched by Avient at Fakuma 2024
NEW Colorant Chromatics™ Metallic Effect Pre-Colored Sulfone Formulations: new pre-colored sulfone solutions with metallic effects, including gold, bronze, and silver, developed to emulate finishes that use metal without the weight and secondary processing but have the benefits of sulfone polymers, including ultra-high temperature and chemical resistance.
PTFE-Free LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations: additional grades that extend Avient’s LubriOne™ Formulations portfolio and are made without fluorinated lubricants such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which may be classifiable as a per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS).

reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs are formulated to achieve a negative, neutral or low carbon footprint versus traditional TPEs.
reSound™ Biopolymer Formulations combine engineering thermoplastic resins with bio-polymers such as PLA, PHB, PHBV and biopolyesters.
These formulations help our customers make sustainable sporting equipment and protective gear.
