The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials—PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM.

For example, the use of sustainable content such as bio-based or recycled sources can lower a PCF. Keep in mind that a limited number of toolmakers specialize in LSR molds—and many are based in Europe.  Check out https://www.avient.com/tpe-knowledge-base to explore the possibilities.

Part of this process is to help sites develop their own EH&S Maturity Road Map which guides them through the implementation of our standards through a risk based approach. Our security programs are risk-based, flexible and responsive to the environments in which we operate. In 2020, 100% of our required associates completed web-based cybersecurity training to help them identify and respond to potential cybersecurity risks and reinforce safe behaviors.

It also provides context on development timelines, some industries have tight timelines based on annual launch windows while others have a long specification process. Polymer Pyramid - Base Resins Equipment Requirements Based on the material selected, there may be tweaks that can be incorporated to optimize manufacturability.

Color and additive solutions based on biopolymers pre-tested to ISO, US Pharmacopeia, European Pharmacopeia, and ICHQ3D protocols to reduce product carbon footprint Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-Based Polymer Solutions for Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical Packaging (English) Learn more about the benefits of using Mevopur Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging (English language version)

TPE Knowledge Base The most commonly GLS recommended color concentrates are based on polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). To make dispersion easier, the color concentrate should have slightly lower viscosity (higher MFI) than the base TPE.
