It can be a challenge to paint these designs without overspray, drips and other imperfections. Rejections because of painting imperfections are eliminated, and what little scrap is left can be easily recovered and recycled back into the manufacturing process, saving time and money. That’s also the amount that you can save by switching to molded-in color components.

What are the top three ways that thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) can help you reach this goal?  Depending on haptic targets, TPEs can provide a variety of feels from grippy to silky, and can be brightly colored to enhance aesthetics and consumer appeal.  TPEs that are ideal for healthcare, consumer goods and cutting-edge electronics such as wearables

Home // Smart Alternative Yields Savings, Efficiency for Mars Otomotiv They also wanted to be able to form the parts onsite without any of the costly finishing processes.

With multiple locations in Germany, China and the United States, the supplier needed to reduce the number of steps to save time and money – without sacrificing product quality or resistance to UV radiation. Inventory savings: Rather than stocking several pre-colored materials, the molder could purchase and store natural resin that can become whatever color is required when combined with the proper masterbatch. The switch to masterbatch technology was made without a large capital investment.

It was important that the new connector provide signal dampening within an established range as specified by the customer without exceeding the established cost targets.    Avoid over-engineering – The new connector must be designed to meet the targeted requirements accurately, without over engineering, thus avoiding the costs of higher-than-needed performance levels.    Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector.
