Using Versaflex™ CE 3320-70 TPE helps brands avoid the sourcing and manufacturing issues of silicone, and it is the only thermoplastic material that stands up to blue jean staining when used in white and light-colored phone cases. Brands using silicone or TPU materials have been seeking an alternative for a number of reasons, including long sourcing lead times and manufacturing challenges for silicone and the inability of TPU to endure blue jeans contact without staining. In addition to blue jean stain resistance, the new Versaflex CE material provides the performance manufacturers expect from a consumer material.

With a focus on safety and eco-conscious composition, these materials can help manufacturers in meeting their sustainability goals. These formulations enable manufacturers to meet regulatory and performance targets while also reducing costs for changeover, downtime, and inventory,” said Barto Du Plessis, vice president, Asia for PolyOne.

The first priority for manufacturers of healthcare products is to ensure they are safe for users. Choosing different materials can help reduce the carbon footprint of manufactured products. Some polymer grades on the plastic market are already manufactured using renewable sources such as corn, sugar cane, and vegetable oil.
