The company tried several TPE grades, hoping to find a material that would eliminate the adhesion problem while providing comparable softness to silicone.
The manufacturer worked with Avient to formulate a custom Versaflex™ TPE that featured a low durometer with excellent resistance to adhesion (sticking).
Armed with a new specialty TPE solution, the medical manufacturer handled gasket adhesion with a material that outperformed that not only silicone, but also conventional TPEs.
