As a result of the system-based cost savings and improved supply reliability, the manufacturer made the decision to proceed with the Versalloy TPV, which is now used in the production of end cuffs for a variety of repeated-use surgical and respiratory hoses. Cost savings: The hose manufacturer saves $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material. These savings resulted from Versalloy’s lower specific gravity (0.88 compared to 0.95) and a 50% reduction in scrap rate.

Custom TPE addresses critical issues, delivers $100,000 in annual savings On top of that, the manufacturer had the evidence of projected savings and ROI to confidently invest in new tooling. With the new material, the manufacturer is expected to save $122,000 per year vs. silicone.
