Most commercial TPEs can be processed by a variety of techniques.
Processing Temperatures
In this example, increasing the processing speed 40% will reduce the apparent viscosity the same as increasing the process temperatures by 20°F.

New LubriOne Formulations from PolyOne Improve Processability and Performance
A change to the formulation used to manufacture LubriOne anti-wear solutions has led to:
• improved processability
• improved surface finish on parts
• lower densities
• improved impact performance
These changes have not affected the excellent lubrication and mechanical properties of the original formulation.

Avient’s additives can improve processability during the bottle blowing phase and improve the mechanical strength of bottles.
SmartHeat RHC, for example, is a process aid for use in PET bottles and is particularly beneficial when using rPET.
SmartHeat RHC also allows for a reduction in energy during the bottle blowing process, helping to reduce carbon emissions.
