The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended a GLS™ Versalloy™ alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP. Ultimately, the transition to the GLS TPV proved to be a smooth one for the manufacturer.
