Keep top load washing machines from walking – Versaflex VDT TPEs use vibration damping technology to prevent walking during use. Dynaflex G TPEs are able to reduce vibration due to their inherent structure. Improve processability and reduce overall processing time – TPEs are easier to process than EPDM rubber and do not require drying like thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV), leading to a decrease in processing time and costs. www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

SHANGHAI – September 25, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a leading provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, will exhibit its extensive portfolio of medical-grade materials and solutions for healthcare applications at Medtec China 2024, including the announcement of newly expanded manufacturing for its NEU™ Custom Capabilities and NEUSoft™ Thermoplastics Polyurethane (TPU) solution for catheter applications in China. Avient’s portfolio of colorants and additives, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and specialty engineered polymers helps customers meet performance demands, comply with medical and pharmaceutical regulations, and accelerate speed to market. TPEs and specialty engineered polymers for auto-injector pens: offer excellent chemical and impact resistance, good self-lubrication functions, durability to extend product life and meet biocompatibility and food-contact safety regulations.

Thermoplastic Elastomers Knowledge Base All conventional gating types are suitable for processing GLS elastomers. For automatically degating tools, the highly elastic nature of softer TPEs makes gate design such as submarine gates or three plate tools with self-degating drops more difficult.
