General purpose TPV alloys offer exceptional flow, lower shrink rate, and aesthetics over typical TPVs. Our Versaflex™ HC TPEs deliver exceptional extrusion rates in high clarity grades without plasticizers, and are also available in formulations that withstand high service temperatures.

Improved yield rates: Changing from a blended solution to a single material reduced the manufacturer’s scrap rate by 50 percent.

Reduced scrap rates These improvements freed working capital for other projects, and helped keep production running at a consistent rate for annual savings estimated by the company at more than $200,000 a year.

With well-controlled laser transmission rates, multiple color choices and customized performance options, this new addition to the Bergamid portfolio allows manufacturers to produce high-performance parts with durable welds and smooth surfaces. Polymers used for laser welding must allow a minimum 20 percent transmission rate for laser energy. PolyOne offers a range of off-the-shelf and tailor-made solutions to meet the required laser transmission rates for applications in a variety of markets.
