reSound™ OM Thermoplastic Elastomers Bio-based TPEs Deliver on Performance Designed to support sustainability goals, the reSound OM TPE formulations utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane and offer hardness levels and property retention comparable to traditional petroleum-based TPEs.

Beyond material selection, the collaborative team also identified a proprietary design and finishing process that could be achieved with the tooling already in place at WillowWood’s Ohio-based manufacturing facility.

Helping to improve sustainability over the end- product lifecycle, these formulations offer a reduced carbon footprint as a result of the PK base resin.

The PPA-based formulations offer decreased moisture absorption compared to nylon 66 (PA66), helping to improve durability and long- term performance.

Helping to improve sustainability over the end- product lifecycle, these formulations offer a reduced carbon footprint as a result of the PK base resin.

Southern States, LLC, a Georgia-based manufacturer of products for the electric utility industry, understands the immediate importance of enhanced protection and physical security around critical infrastructure components.

The food contact compliance statements are based on the composition of the TPE and cite any restrictions, limitations, food types, and/or specific migration limitations (depending on the regulation).

Extrudable and easy to process, these formulations are produced by crosslinking a polyethylene base resin and DBDPE-free catalyst using the Sioplas method, which offers significant advantages and economies over alternative crosslinking processes.
