In the course of their research into material options, the manufacturer’s team invited Avient to suggest options for an alternative TPV based on its global reputation for superior products and service.
The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended a GLS™ Versalloy™ alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP.
With Avient’s assistance and experience in medical device applications, the manufacturer immediately realized the following lifts:

In an effort to strengthen the bushings, the company’s engineering team tested materials from several suppliers, but the LubriOne™ wear-resistant compounds from Avient were the most intriguing.
Closely working together, IŞILSAN and a Avient technical team developed a new polyamide-based formulation that provided the wear resistance of LubriOne™ with improved structural strength.
Avient delivered exceptional service,” said Ibrahim Bey, general manager at IŞILSAN.
