The design team had two objectives: improve vibration damping performance of the boot to deliver a better user experience, and streamline manufacturing of the part to reduce system costs. At the same time, adding a softer material could increase damping performance, which can help power tool users avoid health issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis related to constant vibration. Equally important, the manufacturer added value to its products by reducing vibration for a more pleasant user experience.

Tripod users, from outdoor enthusiasts to photographers, have several common expectations for this essential tool: strength to safely support their prized equipment, stability to get the most accurate shot, quick setup and deployment, and lightweight portability to get their gear easily from here to there. Traditional collapsible, folding tripods can be heavy and cumbersome especially when the user is lugging additional gear and equipment. When deployed, the composite material quickly unrolls to form rigid tubes that are strong, stable, rugged, and weatherproof—providing the ultimate user experience even in extreme conditions.

Dispensing Closures: TPEs can provide an economical and recyclable solution that’s available globally. Caps, Closures & Containers: Thermoplastic elastomers play a big role in the design of ergonomically enhanced packages that can help aging users accomplish simple tasks such as opening a bottle of aspirin or a jar of coffee. TPEs overmolded onto caps can enable an improved user experience and valuable brand differentiation.
