One change was to deliver the raw material in round, underwater-cut pellets rather than the square pellets provided by the other material source.
When the new material was put into production, benefits included:
Overall, cost performance for the new material was 40 percent better than for other competitive materials – a level of value the supplier didn’t anticipate when merely seeking another source for a commodity raw material.

The materials exhibited warpage, causing an uneven surface in a substantial number of parts produced.
Switching from two blended resins to a single material delivered several key benefits to the manufacturer, including:
Reduced drying time: The new material reduced drying time by 70 percent.

The engineers tested the material for shear resistance based on the thickness of the seal.
They then modified the material to offer enough heat resistance so it could be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying material that provides the gaskets’ rigidity.
The material also can be used in tools originally constructed for halogenated materials with no rework required.
