The company will focus on exhibiting various thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) product series used in kitchenware and household products.
AVIENT will mainly exhibit special TPE materials that meet different global regulations and performance requirements. These advanced materials can help OEMs and processors to meet material safety standards and consolidate the sustainable development goals of kitchenware and household products.
“Product designers in the kitchenware and household products industry are constantly seeking materials that can meet increasingly stringent food safety and compliance requirements while also meeting more sustainable materials,” said the head of the Special Engineering Materials Division of Evante Asia Manager Xu Tao said, “Our innovative TPE materials can meet regulatory requirements including FDA, EU10/2011 and Chinese national standards, and can improve safety without affecting performance and design freedom. In addition, we The bio-based content of TPE materials in the reSound brand series is as high as 50%."
The solutions we highlighted include:
· The soft touch TPE material can bring a soft grip to the kitchenware products and enhance the aesthetics. Such materials have good weather resistance, better flexibility and good sealing properties, and meet FDA standards and reach medical grades.
· ReSound™ bio-based TPE material contains a large amount (40%-50%) of bio-based ingredients, has a wide range of hardness, and its performance is comparable to standard TPE.
· DynalloyTM food contact TPE materials are designed to help manufacturers in the Chinese market meet China's GB 4806.6-2016 and GB 9685-2016 standards.
· Overmolded TPE materials can be overmolded with different substrates such as PP, PC/ABS, Tritan, COPE and other substrates that do not contain bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, and heavy metal materials, and No need for multiple processing.
Note: On July 1, 2020, PolyOne and Clariant masterbatches merged into a new material company AVIENT, dedicated to solving the challenges faced by customers and stimulating global innovation and sustainable development potential.
