ANNUAL GROWTH FORECAST Source: Smithers report The Future of Thermoplastic Elastomers to 2024 and Ceresana Market Study: Silicones 3rd. MARKET PRICE HIERARCHY OF ELASTOMERSRaw Material PRODUCTION CONSIDERATIONS LSR and other engineering elastomers typically cost more per pound than standard elastomers. With a diverse range of formulations on the market today, TPEs exhibit a wide range of resistance to chemicals.

In this position he was responsible for managing Bostik Findley's European Hot Melt Adhesive R&D, Product Development, and QC labs for the nonwoven market. ABSTRACT Overmolding thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) on rigid substrates for consumer applications has been driven by the escalating market trends in enhanced ergonomic feel and touch, grip ability, aesthetics, cushioning against impact, vibration isolation and insulation. This hard/soft combination design has been driven by an escalating market trend pushing toward enhanced ergonomic feel and touch, gripping feel, aesthetics, cushioning against impact, vibration isolation or dampening and insulation.

With regards to PC alloys, the general trend of increasing chemical resistance was observed in order of PC/ABS < PC/PET < PC/PBT, which was expected based on previous research and the marketing literature of PC blend manufacturers.4 However, the Edgetek ET8900 series clearly demonstrated the best ESCR performance against the household cleaners. The study suggests that overall, the Trilliant and Edgetek PK blends have enhanced ESCR performance against a variety of disinfectants/cleaners compared to competitive materials available in the market.

It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.

Highly flame retardant—helps to prevent a fire, or limit the damage if one starts • Non-halogenated—in the case of a fire, there are no acid gas emissions which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke—in the event of fire, people can locate escape routes, and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity—in the event of a fire, people are not overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping—no flaming droplets which can further propagate the fire or cause injury • Low emission of corrosive gases when burned—avoids potential damage to electrical components and equipment, and improves human safety MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH XL 8001 is a flame retardant material for thermoset cable insulation.
