Avient Announces Expansion of Versaflex™ PF Thermoplastic Elastomers for surface protective films with new ultra-high adhesion series
SUZHOU, China – 2024年10月28日 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialty and sustainable materials solutions and services, today announced the expansion of its Versaflex™ PF Thermoplastic Elastomers for surface protective films to include an ultra-high adhesion series for co-extruded protective films. This innovative technology is developed to meet the growing demand for high-performance protection in the electronics, appliances, building and construction, and transportation industries.
"With the launch of Avient’s newest Versaflex PF ultra-high adhesion TPEs, we're addressing our customers’ needs for advanced protective film solutions that can adapt to various surfaces and structures, including brushed metal, wood grain, and painted plastics while providing long-lasting protection," said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. "This product not only offers exceptional adhesion performance after extended periods and exposure to high temperatures but also supports sustainability goals by reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions compared to traditional solvent-based coating technologies and enabling the recyclability of the protective films as post-consumer waste."
Additionally, Avient’s new ultra-high adhesion series leaves no residue on prism substrates following heat exposure and surpasses the initial adhesion of previously available Versaflex PF formulations by up to 20 percent. Its low glass transition temperature delivers excellent flexibility, good gel condition, and processability. The new series is also compatible with high-speed processing and can be easily customized, giving designers and innovators an edge in product development.
All Versaflex PF formulations, including the latest series, eliminate the need for secondary coating and drying operations, avoiding using liquid solvents during manufacturing. The new ultra-high adhesion series is manufactured in Asia and available globally.
