THE CHALLENGE
A leading North American manufacturer of
polypropylene (PP) hose for medical applications,
including laser surgery, respiratory care and sleep
apnea equipment, faced a challenge with its existing
thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV).
The Avient team
assessed the application’s technical and operational
requirements, and recommended GLS Versalloy™ XL-
9045-1 alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant
medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-10/reSound REC Automotive Interior Grades Product Bulletin.pdf
Available
in 80 and 90 Shore A hardness, they are injection
moldable and bond well to polypropylene (PP).
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• 35–45% PCR/PIR content
• Meet automotive standards for VOC, FOG,
and odor
• Colored black, additional colors are possible
• Customizable formulations
• Overmoldable to PP
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
The reSound REC 7310 series provides a more
sustainable TPE choice for automotive interior
components and delivers comparable performance
to their traditional counterparts.
