OnFlex™ AF features long-term sealing performance, reduced noise and vibration, and excellent UV resistance and weatherability. Performance of these particular OnFlex™ grades enables automakers to innovate while complying with regulatory demands and sustainability concerns for vehicle interior air quality. Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic

The customized ABS formulation with metallic effect was developed to help electronics manufacturers eliminate the painting process while achieving scratch and chemical resistance performance and sustainability goals.  Replacing painted metal parts with an Artisan ABS formulation also enhances scratch performance. There is an ongoing market need for electronic applications to achieve superior aesthetics and performance, lower system cost, and greater sustainability,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing for Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

With elevated heat deflection temperature and good impact strength, these formulations offer performance and versatility.

The design team had two objectives: improve vibration damping performance of the boot to deliver a better user experience, and streamline manufacturing of the part to reduce system costs. While pleased with the material’s performance, the company still needed to verify that a substantial investment in overmolding – including tooling and testing – would pay off in lower system costs. The TPE grade surpassed the performance of the previous material and allowed the manufacturer to introduce a more efficient production process.

The TPE grade surpassed the performance of the previous material and allowed the manufacturer to introduce a more efficient production process.

Working together, teams from both companies created a customized TPE material that matched the performance of the Brooks TPE blend. The components and materials were carefully designed and engineered to work together properly and optimized for geometry, thickness, flexibility and performance.” But that was just the first of many accolades for the shoe, which also delivered wins in sales, performance and sustainability.
