One answer? One proven approach is to replace traditional vulcanized rubber materials with thermoplastic elastomers, better known as TPEs. Because they remove the need to wash products and simplify bonding to rigid substrates, TPEs require only one to two minutes of processing time from start to finish, and are ideal when producing dynamic and static seals, liquid storage and delivery packaging, and infusion therapy devices.
