The materials’ hardness is a function of both thickness and product grade. Your GLS Representative can assist with the product grade selection for your specific application.

Traditional vulcanized rubber products require application of adhesives to bond to the closure, and this adhesive bond has a greater potential for failure than the chemical bond formed between a TPE and  polymer substrate. Purity and cleanliness are crucial for polymers used in healthcare applications, and this formulation enhances purity not only because it offers low coring levels, but because it is made without cross-linking agents that can potentially leach into the container and interact with the sensitive pharmaceutical product.

Enhanced product design flexibility The ability to modify and adjust the tactile feel of the material enables designers to dial in the force required to open / close dispensing valves consistently through the life of the product.

Tote containers (‘totes’) are commonly used as a cost-effective way to transport or store bulk products and materials. Collapsible totes are another example of improvements that are making a difference in enabling sustainability and product efficiency in shipping and warehousing.
