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

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.

comparable GAAP financial measure is attached to this presentation which is posted

continue to evolve our portfolio to include more sustainable options, including:
Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-Based Polymer Solutions are color and performance-enhancing additive
solutions formulated with bio-based polymers for healthcare applications
Mevopur™ Nucleation Additive Concentrates help produce thinner walls in polyolefin applications while
maintaining mechanical properties and reduce Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) in HDPE
Mevopur™ Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) enable reduced material use, while meeting regulator y
requirements for medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging
REMAFIN™ EP White Colorants for Pharmaceutical Packaging designed for a range of pharmaceuticals,
safeguarding light transmission while meeting regulatory requirements
Trilliant™ HC Glass Filled Polyketone offers a lower carbon footprint alternative to nylon with
excellent chemical resistance, high temperature performance, and good wear resistance
Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers are formulated to meet demanding healthcare device and
application challenges without phthalate plasticizers, including respirator y applications
Application Highlight:
Biopharmaceutical
Manufacturing Clamps
The Challenge
Develop an alternative to traditional nylon materials that
meets dimensional stability, impact and wear resistance
requirements, while enabling the customer to address
consistency of supply and sustainability objectives.
