Give your products the grip and soft touch that your customers value -- TPEs make it possible. Learn what they are, how they perform, and why to choose bio-based or recycled content Silicones We take an objective look at both TPEs and liquid silicone rubber to help you make a more informed decision.

To better evaluate how to protect plastic parts from microbial attack, Avient conducted a study to screen a variety of plastic substrates for susceptibility using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial susceptibility) test standards.

Both polymer families have distinctly different chemical make- ups and properties. The addition of polypropylene concentrates may make the TPE flow a bit easier in the mold. This sifting effect is characteristic of a dry color master-batch which usually contains dispersive lubricants that can coat the feed section of the screw and cause uneven feeding or short shots.
