• A number of different shapes and
designs are created and simulated to
determine which one works best
• Refining to meet EN standard
• VDT TPEs can help reach compliance
with EN1621-1 level 2 and EN1621-2
level 1
• Optimum protection can be achieved
by combining industrial design and
engineering

Using Versalloy™ TPV, Biowave adds safety, durability and signature blue color
Competitive differentiation: The Biowave device is often referred to by its blue color, helping the product stand out from competitors.
Creating a two cavity tool for the bumpers saved PTA 70% over the cost of an overmolding tool, and reduced scrap rates typical with overmolded housings by 80%.

This usually still results in unbalanced
filling and is not a recommended design.2
“H” Pattern Runner
This type of runner delivers a geometrically
balanced type of fill, and is recommended
for most multi-cavity tools.
Only naturally balanced runner systems
(“H” patterns) are recommended.
The blue arrows show the flow of
material in figure 51.
