But for a global medical device manufacturer time had stood still for a key component in one of its products.  When the company decided to redesign this critical valve insert for one of its medical pumps, the project was beset with problems.

The textile industry is currently one of many major industries under pressure to rapidly reduce its environmental impact. One way clothing and footwear producers are working to address these priorities is by using more recycled raw materials, such as recycled polyester from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, within their synthetic fibers.

This dissipation is typically handled by a heat sink, but the aluminum one used by the company was becoming a problem. It wanted to adapt the existing mold to accommodate the new material so it could avoid the time and capital expense of having a new one built. 

The summation of these three component costs should help define why one product is better than the other product on pure economics. As a buyer, one can easily see how specific gravity of a TPE plays a major role in the total number of pounds required to fill the order and the total dollars that will be spent.

One example is Avient’s patented AA scavenger, ColorMatrix™ AAnchor™ Acetaldehyde Scavenger, developed to mitigate the issues associated with ATA-based solutions. Standard testing protocols typically involve one full recycle loop, but as the use of rPET increases, it becomes essential to test through multiple recycle loops.
