Thermoplastic Elastomers How TPEs can help medical and pharmaceutical manufacturers meet growing global demand 2© 2020 Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 THE OPPORTUNITY: EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVES TO VULCANIZED RUBBER Is there a capacity crunch on the horizon? One proven approach is to replace traditional vulcanized rubber materials with thermoplastic elastomers, better known as TPEs. THE SOLUTION: EVOLVED TPEs PERFORM FOR HEALTHCARE APPLICATIONS Recent thermoplastic elastomer advancements give manufacturers the ability to use specialized TPEs for healthcare to modernize processing and minimize secondary operations.

Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team turned to Avient for a selection of suitable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). A technical support team at Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and overmolding onto the rigid substrate.
