Working together with GOBIE designers, PolyOne helped develop a recyclable, dishwasher-safe, and FDA-compliant TPE material that avoids leaching into the bottle’s contents. These FDA-compliant colorants were used to produce fresh and bright hues, pairing perfectly with the TPE material to avoid bonding problems that GOBIE had experienced previously with other materials. Caption: The GOBIE® H2O drinking bottle uses GLS Versaflex™ TPE material and specialty colorants from PolyOne for its patented FlexFlo™ squeeze grip, nonslip base, and finger loop.

While Jäger had developed interior TPE parts in the past, its development engineers and designers had since created a modified manufacturing technology that was more demanding on the elastomeric material. The professionals at Jäger and Avient identified OnFlex-S TPE with UV stabilization as the material that would best fulfill cost and performance goals for this application. Because it exhibits a higher flow rate than other SBC-based TPEs, OnFlex-S TPE reduces cycle times during injection molding, a feature that satisfies productivity objectives set by Jäger.
