Because of this, scrap materials during the manufacturing process can be reused.
Because producing TPEs is a very controlled and precise chemical and manufacturing process, you can make TPEs for different levels of risk and medical grades.
Risks are mitigated during the entire production process to create different medical grades.

THE SOLUTION Maintaining premium aesthetic standards while lowering processing costs can be difficult.
Switching from metal forming to injection molding would also enable processing cost savings and expanded design freedom.
THE IMPACT The closure producer’s team switched to Gravi-Tech material, and immediately logged a 35% cost savings due to lower material and processing costs.
