HOW GLS TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN INFANT CARE APPLICATIONS
• Safe to Use – Made without bisphenol A (BPA),
phthalates, or heavy metals; select grades
compliant with FDA, REACH and China GB4806
• Durable – Resists bites and tears; many are
tested and safe to use in microwaves and
dishwashers
• Comfortable – Can be overmolded to provide a
soft touch grip and customized
to specific comfort requirements including
vibration and noise reduction
• Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and
overmolded right onto a substrate including PP,
ABS, etc
