The effect is more pronounced in the low hardness products. The addition of polypropylene concentrates may make the TPE flow a bit easier in the mold. Concentrate let-down ratios as low as 10-to-1 and as high as 100-to-1 are possible depending on the process and desired result.

Most GLS TPE materials replicate the mold surface fairly well. If a matte finish is required, a rougher mold texture should be used (or a GLS product such as GLS Versalloy™ TPV Alloys, which naturally produce a matte surface). To learn more about how TPE materials can benefit your product's surface aesthetics, contact an expert at Avient today.

Designing Molds for Styrenic Block Copolymers (SBC) This bulletin focuses on the raw material cost, specifically how specific gravity plays a role in product economics.  GLS produces standard products ranging in hardness from 3 Shore A (softest) to 95 Shore A (hardest).

THE SOLUTION The OEM approached Avient with its challenge. After developing a deep understanding of the customer’s needs, Avient’s team quickly went to work to formulate a custom OnColor™ color and then added Cesa™ WithStand™ antimicrobial technology to make a single Smartbatch™ masterbatch that passed all of the product’s challenging requirements. Avient has compiled extensive data that enabled the OEM to shave weeks off the product development timeline and save nearly $50,000 in potential antimicrobial product protection testing fees.

THE CHALLENGE Comfort should never be sacrificed when it comes to wheelchair mobility. In 2016, Frog Legs set out to enhance their product further by reducing weight. THE SOLUTION Moving away from machining, the Frog Legs team embraced injection molding, enabling them to create more intricate shapes.
