Material switch lowers costs, achieves higher flow versus previous TPV
Ultimately, the transition to the GLS TPV proved to be a smooth one for the manufacturer.
Cost savings: The hose manufacturer saves $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material.

Currently,
the Versalloy TPV is used in the manufacture of end cuffs
for a variety of repeated-use surgical and respiratory
hoses.
THE IMPACT
Avient’s expertise in materials for medical device
applications helped this customer make a smooth
transition to the GLS TPV.
Cost savings: The hose manufacturer is saving $33,000
per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous
material.

Special grade of TPV can be used for various
medical application, however is opaque.
At same
hardness, PVC and TPV have a much higher
modulus and lower elongation than SBC
compound.
Therefore, SBC compound has a
better “rubber” feeling than both PVC and TPV.
