Unlike PVC, these materials are made without phthalate plasticizers, offer high clarity in some cases, bond to a variety of substrates, and can be customized for color and hardness.
Specialty TPEs formulated for high clarity, without plasticizers, to improve high service temperature performance, and to meet biopharmaceutical needs for weldability and low extractables
The lower extractable profile of Versaflex™ HC BT218 thermoplastic elastomer provided a drop-in material replacement with excellent clarity and performance for a medical tubing extruder
