Because low durometer (softer) material is a requirement for this application, the manufacturer considered a switch to a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
The company tried several TPE grades, hoping to find a material that would eliminate the adhesion problem while providing comparable softness to silicone.
With the Avient material, the manufacturer is expected to save $122,000 per year vs. silicone.

Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
ELECTRET CHARGING Electret charging works by improving the crystallinity and mechanical deformation of a material, to prevent electret charging from drifting.
By introducing additives with charge storage properties, “charge traps” are created which capture the electret charge applied to the meltblown nonwoven material.

The company needed to find the right material that met all their requirements to create the new control grips.
The material is also complicated to process, which can increase costs further.
The material was customized with the special glow-in-the-dark colorant and laser etched with intricate game logos.

Because the trays were regularly handled by consumers and filled with food, it was very important that any changes made to the material would not jeopardize the packaging’s FDA compliance.
The sheet producer began experimenting with material changes in-house, but struggled to achieve consistency of release.
