CUSTOM TPE RESOLVES A STICKY SITUATION FOR CONTACT LENS CONTAINER CASE STUDY: VERSAFLEX™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS Challe nge Accepted. Because low durometer (softer) material is a requirement for this application, the manufacturer considered a switch to a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

CASE STUDY: GLS™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS THE LOGICAL CHOICE FOR ACQUA PLOSEChalle nge Accepted. When closurelogic turned to Avient for material selection help, the team developed a GLS™ TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) based on a stable, low migration TPE with a lower processing temperature compared to competitive TPEs, thus resulting in even fewer volatiles.
