THE CHALLENGE
A leading North American manufacturer of
polypropylene (PP) hose for medical applications,
including laser surgery, respiratory care and sleep
apnea equipment, faced a challenge with its existing
thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV).
The Avient team
assessed the application’s technical and operational
requirements, and recommended GLS Versalloy™ XL-
9045-1 alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant
medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP.
