Market Pricing ($/lb.)
The results were impressive:
• Better tension set, improved compression and enhanced permeability
• Slashed $70,000 from production costs by reducing cycle times and
eliminating assembly steps
• Lower specific gravity of TPEs trimmed overall part weight, which cut
$36,000 in annual freight costs
• Reprocessability of TPEs shrank scrap rates, saving more than $70,000
in material waste

For a manufacturer seeking to redesign a liquid injection-molded silicone medical
pump valve insert, Avient suggested custom-formulated grades of Dynalloy™ OBC
and Versaflex™ TPEs that would deliver better multi-functional performance than
the previous design, while also facilitating easier two-shot molding.

REDUCE
Avient Corporation 50
• Improving Fuel Economy - Incorporating innovative lighter-weight alternative
materials as a cost-effective way to reduce fuel consumption
• Reducing Energy Consumption and Dependence on Fossil Fuels -
Negative public perceptions of fossil fuels are challenging companies to utilize
alternative energy sources and also to reduce overall demand (consumption)
• Reducing Carbon Footprint - Companies are seeking assistance from their
suppliers to address the ever-increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint
• Lessening Environmental Impact - Manufacturers are looking to reduce
dependence on processes with high environmental impact such as the release of
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) during painting
