Versaflex™ & Versalloy™ Specialty Engineered Materials Thermoplastic Elastomers for Healthcare Applications Delivering specialized thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solutions for demanding healthcare applications, Avient has performance-grade materials that are approved for USP VI, ISO 10993-4 and 10993-5. Formulated without phthalate plasticizers, several of our grades offer high clarity, bond to a variety of substrates and can be customized. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

In contrast, short fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials contain reinforcing fibers of various short lengths (approximately 1mm in length on average) that are randomly orientated in the resin/pellet.   Since fiber in long fiber composites is continuous throughout the length of each cut pellet, long fiber materials have a higher fiber aspect ratio than short fiber filled plastics. Higher fiber aspect ratio provides the thermoplastic polymer with more ability to transfer energy to the stronger reinforcing fibers when the material comes under stress load and also to dissipate that energy over a wider area, therefore greatly improving impact performance.

Use a higher modulus substrate material Provide a 0.003" to 0.005" (0.076 mm to 0.127 mm) interference when using plastic inserts or substrates, to take into account shrinkage, sinks and tolerances. Provide a spring-loaded area if the inserted substrate is a metal or other non-compressible material.
