Wilflex continued to make history twenty years later, when it provided design freedom allowing hundreds of color options with the introduction of the first plastisol mixing system.

The other commercially available TPE’s were processed as per the recommendations made in their respective data sheets. All products were dried as per the recommended conditions including the developed products which were dried in Desiccant oven at 70 C for 2 hr. Data is reported in pounds per linear inch (pli).

This was great for strength and performance, but the yoke was heavy, had long lead times for production, and was nearly $100 per part, making it ripe for a metal-to- plastic conversion.

Traditionally, process aids for extrusion contain fluoropolymers which may be classifiable as per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), a group of chemicals widely used in a variety of applications due to their ability to be water and oil repellent, non-stick, and heat resistant.
