There are new rules to be understood and adopted for everyone from the largest global manufacturer to the crafter working in the family workshop to the mom-and-pop shop on the corner. Indeed, all children’s products including toys, books, childcare articles and clothing are covered in different ways by this law, and there are different rules for different products.

When designing a TPE part, there are a few general rules to follow: For spiral flow information about a specific grade or additional details about the spiral flow test procedure, please contact your Avient representative.

Procedures for Covered Employees: The general policy stated above applies to all employees. These procedures apply regardless of the dollar amount of the trade or the source of the Inside 2 Information. Please note that, in addition to the requirements of a trading plan described above, there are a number of additional procedural conditions to Rule 10b5-1(c) that must be satisfied before you can rely on a trading plan as an affirmative defense against an insider trading charge.

Key Concepts & Procedures for TPE Applications Over the years, as GLS™ has worked with customers to perfect their thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) applications, we've developed a range of concepts and procedures that can help improve and optimize designs. This bulletin focuses on the raw material cost, specifically how specific gravity plays a role in product economics. 

This not only added cost, it made for longer cycle times, even as rising demand was pushing the manufacturer to unlock new capacity. In setting reengineering objectives, the manufacturer was mindful that simply layering components that meet the various UL specifications wouldn’t necessarily mean a UL listing for the finished product. Reduced costs: An estimated savings of $500,000 a year in production costs, primarily through reduced materials and energy costs.
