For these reasons alone, LSR is often the natural choice for everything from medical instruments to FDA Class III and USP Class VI implant products, including catheters, gastric feeding tubes, heart valves and stents. And in some case, the lower production costs of TPEs make them an economical alternative for many single-use products and pharmaceutical-grade delivery tubing. The results were impressive: • Better tension set, improved compression and enhanced permeability • Slashed $70,000 from production costs by reducing cycle times and eliminating assembly steps • Lower specific gravity of TPEs trimmed overall part weight, which cut $36,000 in annual freight costs • Reprocessability of TPEs shrank scrap rates, saving more than $70,000 in material waste SWITCH TO TPEs BOOSTS BOTTOM LINE CASE STUDY READ MORE ONLINE For a manufacturer seeking to redesign a liquid injection-molded silicone medical pump valve insert, Avient suggested custom-formulated grades of Dynalloy™ OBC and Versaflex™ TPEs that would deliver better multi-functional performance than the previous design, while also facilitating easier two-shot molding. https://www.avient.com/idea/sealing-medical-device-savings APPLICATIONS LSR TPEs INFANT CARE • Pacifier • Baby bottle nipples • Breast pumps • Breast shields • Cup valves MEDICAL • Catheter • Tubing • Syringe seals • Respiratory masks • Handles/grips on surgical instruments • Prosthetics • Needleless valves • Gaskets • Valves • Wound drain bulb • Wound drain • Wound covering HOUSEHOLD • Bake ware (cake or muffin mold) • Oven gloves • Ice cube tray • Kitchen utensils • Trivet • Storage tubs RECREATION • Sporting goods (dive mask, protective mouthguard) • Shoe inserts AUTOMOTIVE • Turbocharge hoses • Radiator hoses • Spark plug boots • Underhood seals + gaskets • Interior seals + gaskets • Interior HVAC flaps ELECTRIC + ELECTRONICS • High voltage insulators • Wire + cable coating • Cellphone cases • Fitness wearables RETAIL • Packaging • Blister packs What’s the best fit for your application?

For soft SEBS formulations low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) have been used. The use of a polyethylene (PE) carrier may adversely effect adhesion to the substrate for some overmolding applications.

Examples of semi-crystalline polymers are PP, polyethylene (PE), PA6, PA66, polyphthalamide (PPA), polybutylene/polyethylene terephthalate (PBT/PET), polyoxymethylene (POM) or acetal, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyether ether ketone (PEEK).
