CLEVELAND  – The popularity of some colors may come and go in product designs.     In Pursuit of Magic: Challenging what is real and placing trust in the inexplicable, we seek to impart order over the chaos around us.

Understanding what is changing, and when, in this USP 661 healthcare regulation So, what does this mean to you, and what should you consider in your packaging to ensure you are in compliance with the new USP 661.1 guidelines? Maintain change control of packaging material formulations to avoid irregularities

But some of the physical properties that make them attractive for very challenging applications, such as their very low Coefficient of Friction (CoF), also cause them to be difficult to print or otherwise mark. See our Q&A for insight into some of the points to consider when printing or marking applications manufactured from fluoropolymers. 

Some Versaflex™ TPEs exhibit similar processing profiles as Kraton and Dynaflex TPEs. We can make some general observations about the processing of these two types of TPEs: High shear rate viscosity testing done by GLS’s Quality Control Department (using a rheometer) accurately gauges the way our TPEs will perform at shear rates found during injection molding or extrusion.
