The failure mode is cohesive on PP and adhesive on all other substrates. The bonding characteristics of TPE-2 materials to all the substrates were adhesive in nature. TPE-2B exhibits a relatively strong bond to all the substrates employed in this study irrespective of surface energy and/or polarity of a TPE and a substrate.

All walls should be the same thickness except for ribs, bosses, snapfits, and interlocks. The round located at the base of a rib should be 25% of nominal wall thickness, and all ribs should have a draft angle from ¼° to 1°. Ideally, all polymer contacting edges should be round or radiused.

At Avient, we are proud to be a part of the solution, supporting the shift from a linear economy to a circular economy and driving sustainability for all of our stakeholders. The materials, parts, polymers, chemicals and other components of the things we use are all designed to re-enter the ecosystem that helped produce them. Reaching circularity requires a coalition of governments, industries, and consumers that all understand the importance and value of a circular economy.

PHTHALATES FACTS PHTHALATES ARE KNOWN TO BREAK DOWN IN THE HUMAN BODY Research has shown that after entering the body, phthalate are broken down into metabolites within minutes and pass out quickly in urine.2 PHTHALATE EXPOSURE IS CONSIDERED LOW Despite the fact that phthalates are used in a wide range of products, human exposure from all sources is considered to be extremely low.2 PHTHALATES ARE A USEFUL CHOICE FOR HEALTHCARE Flexible vinyl tubing does not react with most medications, allowing for reliable administration of drugs, while flexible vinyl bags prevent blood contamination and extend shelf life of the blood.3 PHTHALATES ARE REGULATED Based on earlier studies, a few specific phthalates have been banned for use in toys or other items for sale to children under twelve to reduce risk of overexposure through hand-to- mouth behaviors. 1 Source: chemicalsafetyfacts.org 2 Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 3 Source: thisisplastics.com www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.
