While Jäger had developed interior TPE parts in the past, its development engineers and designers had since created a modified manufacturing technology that was more demanding on the elastomeric material.
Because it exhibits a higher flow rate than other SBC-based TPEs, OnFlex-S TPE reduces cycle times during injection molding, a feature that satisfies productivity objectives set by Jäger.
Faster processing = lower energy costs: Higher melt flow rates enable shorter injection molding cycles, resulting in reduced energy requirements.

Design Considerations
The material requirements of bondable TPE’s are different from conventional
TPE’s and it is the same for designing parts.
Unlike conventional part design,
two component part design has to take into consideration shrinkage’s from two
different thermoplastic materials.
Shut-off’s should also be designed for the following reasons:

Pyrolysis removes the matrix polymer of injection-molded specimens
to reveal the different internal fiber structure of long glass fiber and
short glass fiber parts.
DESIGN & DEPLOY
WITH CONFIDENCE
Transitioning from traditional materials to long fiber composites requires an integrated approach
that includes material formulation, component design, and forming process.

BIC Amplifies Sustainable Razor Design with Recycled-Content Material
The company’s approach to product design is deeply rooted in the principles of the circular economy and BIC’s 4R philosophy: reducing the amount of raw materials, including as much recycled or alternative materials as possible, making more refillable products, and improving the recyclability of both products and packaging.

THE DESIGN
The basis of a PlanetPak is a robust polyethylene
liner with a proprietary collapsing design,
encompassed by a cardboard outer shell.

Working with TPEs also gives you extensive design freedom, customization and color options.
But here’s a twist—TPEs can also be designed to absorb water if that is a desired property for your application.
