The results were impressive:
• Better tension set, improved compression and enhanced permeability
• Slashed $70,000 from production costs by reducing cycle times and
eliminating assembly steps
• Lower specific gravity of TPEs trimmed overall part weight, which cut
$36,000 in annual freight costs
• Reprocessability of TPEs shrank scrap rates, saving more than $70,000
in material waste

For a manufacturer seeking to redesign a liquid injection-molded silicone medical
pump valve insert, Avient suggested custom-formulated grades of Dynalloy™ OBC
and Versaflex™ TPEs that would deliver better multi-functional performance than
the previous design, while also facilitating easier two-shot molding.
