HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN HOME APPLIANCE
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET
• Reduced appliance movement and noise –
vibration damping technology reduces
movement and noise of the appliance
when in use
• Resistance to wear and tear – TPEs are proven
to maintain their shape and resist tears with
low compression set
• Better performance and function – increase
design freedom with material selection
flexibility
• Improved processability – boost efficiency
with injection molding processing and reduce
overall production cycle time
and costs
• Reduced number of part defects – eliminate
secondary operations to achieve consistent
and controlled results

How to optimize your bottles?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-06/ColorMatrix Joule Tech Bulletin.pdf
Such advice, for example how to set up blow
molding machines, is not equipment specific and
therefore ColorMatrix would always recommend
using local or expert technicians in addition to
following best practice points listed below;
• Preforms should be conditioned for minimum
24 hours prior to blowing
• Preforms should always be used in a FIFO
manner (First In, First Out)
• Octabins of preforms should be segregated and
blown per resin type, i.e. not mixed with other
resins
• A preform traceability system should be in
place such that any process upsets can be
quickly followed up and corrected
• Enhanced QC preform checking resources
for bottle distribution, aesthetics and integrity
should be on-hand during the performance
optimization trials
• Prior to any process optimization, the blowing
machine performance should be verified as
being within normal i.e. accepted standard
ranges and all important components and
control features are working satisfactorily.

Since TPEs are slightly compressible in the molten state, larger runner volumes can cause hot tip gates to drool after the mold is opened.
To prevent drool, the runner system should be minimized and the melt decompressed before the mold opens.
