Having worked with Avient for years, the designers sought out a recommendation for a material to replace the bent steel plate. PA-6 resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement. What’s more, the polymer enabled HellermannTyton to switch from a two-step metal fabrication process to a one-step injection molding process, while Avient provided additional assistance with tool development, process optimization and testing.

What are TPEs? What can you make out of TPEs? What are medical grade TPEs?
