Material switch lowers costs, achieves higher flow versus previous TPV The company also sought a vendor who could provide rapid delivery and reliable material supply to avoid production delays. Cost savings: The hose manufacturer saves $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material.

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 new material, the manufacturer is expected to save $122,000 per year vs. silicone.

Recycling Materials into New Composites: Repurposing manufacturing waste to create new composites prevents it from going into landfills. As materials engineers, it's crucial to consider several factors when adopting more circular composites. Materials engineers play a pivotal role in the quest to make composites more circular and sustainable.

The company’s approach to product design is deeply rooted in the principles of the circular economy and BIC’s 4R philosophy: reducing the amount of raw materials, including as much recycled or alternative materials as possible, making more refillable products, and improving the recyclability of both products and packaging. When BIC engineers were challenged to incorporate more recycled materials in a new sustainable women’s razor, they found answers in Avient’s sustainable solutions. This material, also known as a thermoplastic elastomer, has a soft, grippy feel and is highly colorable.
