It accomplishes this by bringing incompatible polymers – such as PP and PE – together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification.

Here are a few points to consider when designing part molds for styrene-ethylene/butylenestyrene polymer based TPEs (SEBS TPEs), or styrene-butadiene-styrene polymer based TPEs (SBS TPEs): Also, SEBS formulations shrink more than SBS formulations, soft TPEs shrink more than harder TPEs, and unfilled formulations shrink more than filled formulations. In parts that fill from a thin wall to a thick section, the polymer may break away from the wall as it enters the thick section.

Avient’s range of medical-grade polymers, colorants, and additives can enhance the safety and effectiveness of these devices while helping manufacturers mitigate risks when bringing products to market. Formulations that can resist chemicals and disinfectants, helping maintain performance of medical infusion and drug delivery pumps. Avient’s portfolio of healthcare colorants includes standard and customized color solutions for a variety of polymers, from polyolefins, PC, PEBA, ABS, and styrenics to high temperature polysulfone resins.

These colorants are custom formulated to take advantage of the transparency and light transmission properties of the base resin. Custom OnColor Edgeglo colorants can be formulated in a range of fluorescent hues that include yellow, lime green, red, orange, blue and violet. OnColor Edgeglo colorants are supplied as a pelletized concentrate and formulated with a carrier that is compatible with the letdown resin.

Adding to their versatility, formulations can be designed using colors and specialty additives to meet specific needs.   A thinner wall part must use a smaller particle size and a formulation with good dispersibility to minimize the tendency for pigment particles to form lumps on a part’s surface. Color masterbatch formulations can produce opaque colors or can be developed with the appropriate pigment particle size and loading to enable translucent colors.
