The market trends in combination with the innovative molding techniques have available has placed a high demand on thermoplastic elastomer suppliers to produce compounds capable of bonding to the different engineering plastics available. TPE suppliers have responded developing a variety of compounds with the attributes to bond to several engineering plastics such as nylon (PA), polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys This paper elaborates different TPE technologies developed to bond to various rigid substrates i.e. For specific interactions to occur between the TPE and the substrate both have to come in intimate contact to each other and wet-out the surface.

Because wearables often interface with the body 24/7, they need to be designed for long-term skin contact. We understand what it takes to limit the risk of skin sensitivity issues using engineered materials designed for prolonged skin contact. Collaborate with Avient and see what a positive difference the right polymer supplier can make.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) dowel bars offer advantages over traditional steel or epoxy- coated steel bars: • Electromagnetic transparency: ideal for high- speed toll roads to prevent interference • Corrosion resistance: the GFRP material will not rust or corrode in salt or alkaline environments • Light weight: less than one-third the weight of steel • Does not bond to concrete: eliminates the need for sleeves or grease to allow for expansion and contraction Glasforms™ composite dowel bars are tested and approved to meet the following requirements: • ASTM 1356 Glass Transition Temperature • ASTM D570 Water Absorption • ASTM 2344 Short Beam Strength • ASTM 7617 Transverse Shear Strength Glasforms™ Composite Dowel Bars for Concrete Pavement Construction APPLICATION OVERVIEW WHY GLASFORMS PULTRUDED COMPOSITES?
