Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Co-Organizes Inaugural Healthcare Elastomers Conference On Tuesday May 21 at 10:00 am, John Scoarste, senior application development manager at PolyOne, will present, “Thermoplastic Elastomer Healthcare Material Selection – It Is More Than Just Materials.” PHOTO CAPTION: The first-ever Healthcare Elastomers Conference aims to provide device designers with technical information that can spark innovation for better design and functionality.

PolyOne developed an ultra-soft version of its GLS™ TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) approved for food contact and medical applications, and included non-toxic PolyOne colorants.  The Good Duck™ is blow-molded from an ultra-soft TPE and uses non-toxic molded-in colorants from PolyOne.

Avient Corporation highlights sustainable innovations at NPE 2024, including Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations, Versaflex™ HC BIO BT218 TPEs, ColorMatrix™ Capture™ Oxygen Scavenger, and Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aid for Extrusion, exemplifying the company’s commitment to delivering advanced sustainable solutions.   Versaflex™ HC BIO BT218 TPEs: a finalist for the Plastics Industry Association’s People’s Choice for Plastics Sustainability Innovation Award to be announced at NPE, this grade of bio-derived thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing and deliver excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of extractables while offering the same performance as its prime counterpart but with a lower carbon footprint.

TPE Knowledge Base Versaflex™ OM 9-801N was developed to bond to a variety of substrates allowing molders to use the same thermoplastic elastomer with varying substrates. PP overmolding is a common characteristic of thermoplastic elastomers from GLS.
