Adding to their versatility, formulations can be designed using colors and specialty additives to meet specific needs.     A thinner wall part must use a smaller particle size and a formulation with good dispersibility to minimize the tendency for pigment particles to form lumps on a part’s surface. Color masterbatch formulations can produce opaque colors or can be developed with the appropriate pigment particle size and loading to enable translucent colors.

Depending on the formulation, TPEs can produce a range of tangible finishes —from silky smooth, to slightly tacky, to very grippy. With a diverse range of formulations on the market today, TPEs exhibit a wide range of resistance to chemicals. Many have been formulated to resist particular chemicals, so you are likely to find a TPE option that will work well in your scenario.

1)    Aesthetics Visual choices of parts are typically tailored to the type of raw material used to formulate the final product. The aesthetic look of a product can be formulated to specific needs while providing environmental benefits. Avient’s material science expertise can help create custom sustainable formulations that meet performance and visual requirements.
