In the evaluation of ZPT-containing compounds, 34 distinct TPE formulations were produced, with each group being represented by various commercially active grades of Versaflex™ or OnFlex™ GLS™ elastomers. Notably, the addition of blue tint can effectively decrease the YI to a level below FIGURE 2 Results of Japanese Industrial Standard Z2801 testing for various GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer line products; 24-h bacteria viability reported in mean CFU/sample is plotted for a series of samples with increased ZPT loading.
