The design and lightweighting benefits of thermoplastics with the conductive performance of metal PREPERM™ Low Loss Dielectric Thermoplastics

These comprise several new product launches, including statically dissipative and electrically conductive thermoplastic elastomers, additives designed to enhance the recycling of polyolefins, and engineered materials and performance additives that can help customers conform to proposals from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to restrict the use of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).   NEW Stat-Tech™ TPE Static Dissipative & Electrically Conductive Thermoplastic Elastomers – Formulated to offer electrical resistivity from 10⁰Ω to 10¹⁰Ω.

Hammerhead™ Marine Panels: with a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials. Lightweighting is also part of this trend, and its Polystrand™ thermoplastic composite continuous fiber tapes and laminates are providing the structural strength to replace metals while amplifying design freedom.

Featured at CAMX is a new formulation of Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites made from greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET) resin. Thermoplastic Composites:

Avient Announces Industry-First Carbon Negative and Carbon Neutral Thermoplastic Elastomers   This includes offering lower-carbon alternatives to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) without sacrificing performance, expanding our portfolios to include the use of bio-renewable feedstock and post-industrial or post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, and introducing new materials and services focused on meeting specific customer needs while helping to advance a circular economy. 

Manufacturers who serve growth markets such as packaging, consumer goods, transportation, building and construction, and appliances can benefit from bio-based color and additive concentrates, special effect colorants, functional additives, engineered polymers and thermoplastic elastomers, eco-conscious wire and cable solutions and more. More TPE For Beginners Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are used to create durable products that we use everyday.

Thermoplastic Elastomers | Healthcare , Soft Touch Soft-touch products: Soft TPEs overmolded onto rigid thermoplastic substrates reduce “muscle effort” for a given operation such as turning a dial, pressing a lever or pushing a button.

Thermoplastic Elastomers | Color & Design , Transportation Global supplier DENSO, for example, was designing parts for an HVAC system and asked Avient to find a replacement for thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) material that would eliminate the need to pre-dry.
