HIGH PERFORMANCE CLEAR THERMOPLASTICS ELASTOMER Jiren Gu , Tom Castile and Krishna Venkataswamy GLS Corporation 833 Ridgeview Dr., McHenry, IL 60050 Abstract High performance clear TPE products are developed to replace silicone and PVC in various medical and personnel care applications. Styrene Block Copolymer (SBC) is a TPE that combine the processing characteristic of thermoplastics and physical properties of vulcanized rubbers. SBC compound is thermoplastics and can be recycled, which results in additional saving in processing cost compared with thermset silicone.

These include ISO pre-certified colorants; FDA-compliant materials from engineering thermoplastics and elastomers to vinyl, styrenics and olefins; RoHS and REACH compliant materials; and much more.

NOVEL THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS FOR UNIVERSAL OVERMOLDING ON DISSIMILAR THERMOPLASTICS Liang Xu, Sehyun Kim, Rajesh Varma and Krishna Venkataswamy GLS Corporation 833 Ridgeview Drive McHenry, IL 60050, USA Abstract Overmolding thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) onto rigid thermoplastics has been an explosive trend in the last decade. Figure 1 shows the surface energy match of various thermoplastic elastomers with rigid thermoplastics.

Home // Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites Want to learn more about the differences between thermosets and thermoplastics? Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are produced by pulling continuous glass rovings through thermoplastic resin to impregnate the fibers and form a unidirectional tape.

During development and prototyping, the engineers used an SBS-type elastomer for this critical component – but they hadn’t settled on materials for mass production. The shell would be made with a custom-formulated Synprene™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) blend that provides resistance to most common medications and is flexible enough for the fins to work as designed. Avient’s knowledge of materials, applied to our specific needs, gave us better consistency and quality,” says Andwin Scientific General Manager Ryan Smith.
