CASE IN POINT: STOPPERS AND SEPTUMS
Versaflex™ HC TPE from Avient offers customers an exceptional
alternative to rubber for septums and stoppers.
CONCLUSION: HOW CAN TPEs HELP YOU?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-11/gls-tpes-soft-touch-selection-guide.pdf
Thermoplastic
elastomers (TPEs) are an excellent solution.
Consider applicator designs that use TPEs to enable
your products to be applied more precisely.
TPEs are compatible with
most municipal recycle streams and
special grades can be formulated with
renewable content.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-04/versaflex-tpe-contact-lens-case-case-study.pdf
THE SOLUTION
Avient formulated a custom Versaflex™ TPE that featured
a low durometer with excellent resistance to adhesion
(sticking).
Testing showed that this TPE would not stick
to the machinery or itself.
THE IMPACT
Avient’s formulation expertise produced a specialty
TPE solution that surpassed not only silicone but also
competitive TPEs to solve the gasket adhesion problem
for this medical manufacturer.
