GLS believes these factors all play a role in the decision process and should be used in your decision process. For example, using GLS product XL9070 (SpGr of 0.89) and GLS product G7970 (SpGr of 1.18), both 70A TPEs, the mass of the part in grams is calculated as follows:

Regulatory compliance for aqueous, acidic, alcohol and fatty food applications are available with GLS thermoplastic elastomers. GLS and Kautex Machines, a leader in extrusion blow-molding equipment, jointly developed a solution for co-extruding an ultra-thin outer layer of translucent, customized Dynalloy™ TPE onto recycled or virgin HDPE resin.

GLS produces standard products ranging in hardness from 3 Shore A (softest) to 95 Shore A (hardest). GLS reports hardness values utilizing the 10 second reading.

The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended a GLS™ Versalloy™ alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP. Ultimately, the transition to the GLS TPV proved to be a smooth one for the manufacturer.
