Specific Versaflex OM grades have been specially formulated to bond to PC, ABS,
nylon 6/6, PC/ABS, and PPO.
With new innovative technologies, Avient continues to develop TPEs that bond to a
variety of substrates.
Newer machines with a computer interface offer
improved process control and are preferred for multi-cavity tools and high
production applications.

Versaflex™ TF Adhesive TPE solutions, developed
for adhesive films in laminations with nylon and
polyester textile fabrics, enable brand owners
and OEMs to create a new generation of soft,
stretchable, and breathable fabrics for athletic
apparel such as sportswear and underwear.
Compared to
TPU adhesive films and traditional glue, these new
TPE solutions can deliver a seamless and strong
adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics, enabiling
a uniform thickness and overall appearance for an
athletic, close-fitting, and non-bruising finish.
Versaflex TF Adhesive TPEs offer easy processing
and shaping, and can also be custom-colored
and cost-efficiently laser-cut.

Glass
fiber and glass beads formulations are typically used
for injection molding processes where improved
dimensional stability is required.
Titanate Fiber Compounds can increase mechanical
strength while gaining chemical inertness and
excellent cryogenic impact resistance.
They can
also be used as an antistatic coating on FEP or
PTFE-impregnated glass cloth or as a resistance
carrier for heating bands.

NYMAX™ BIO
BIO-BASED POLYAMIDE SOLUTIONS
PROCESSING GUIDE
1 NYMAX BIO
Formulated in glass fiber-filled or unfilled
materials, Nymax™ BIO formulations utilize
between 16 and 47 percent natural filler from
renewable plant-based raw materials, reducing
the carbon footprint value significantly at the
beginning of the product lifecycle.
These highly
engineered formulations deliver comparable
performance to traditional PA66 glass fiber-
filled materials, plus the bio-derived solutions
offer lower warpage and have excellent surface
appearance and colorability.
Regrind is not suggested—glass fiber reinforce material will lose strength
after regrind
