Iranpolymer/ Baspar Avient announced the launch of the Resound REC, thermoplastic elastomers with post-consumer recycled content. The new grades for automotive interior applications are formulated for comparable performance to traditional TPEs. The Resound REC 7310 product series meets common automotive original equipment manufacturer standards for volatile organic compounds and fogging.
These initial grades in the series are 80 and 90 Shore A durometers and contain 35% or 45% PCR content from recycled food packaging. They can also be customized and injection molded or overmolded to PP, making them useful for a range of interior applications. This includes door mats/mat pockets, center console trays, front and rear trunk liners, or components for instrument panels & dashboards. They are colored black to provide consistent and comparable aesthetics to prime grades for OEM-specific blacks. Additional colors are also possible.
The product series is manufactured and available in North America.
