At the same time, we expect our associates to be equally committed to operating safely. In addition to identifying risk-reduction opportunities, we require each associate—as a condition of employment—to work safely and make safe decisions at all times.

LSR responds better under compressive loads as temperatures rise—in dishwasher seals for example. For these reasons alone, LSR is often the natural choice for everything from medical instruments to FDA Class III and USP Class VI implant products, including catheters, gastric feeding tubes, heart valves and stents. And in some cases, the lower production costs of TPEs make them an economical alternative for many single-use products and pharmaceutical-grade delivery tubing.
