While pleased with the material’s performance, the company still needed to verify that a substantial investment in overmolding – including tooling and testing – would pay off in lower system costs.

The more senses an interior activates, the better the chances of turning consumer ‘tire kickers’ into paying customers.

Products manufactured on different com- pounding lines also have unique processing conditions, including but not limited to variations in screw design, residence time, and processing temperatures. The most notable physical change that occurs when incorporating ZPT to TPE com- pounds is a loss in sample transparency accompanied by a slight yellow color shift. that seen for the control TPE (i.e., ZPT loading = 0 ppm), further improving the aesthetics of the sample. 4 | CONCLUSIONS In this investigation, an evaluation of microbial suscepti- bility using antifungal (ASTM G21-15) and antibacterial (ASTM E1428-15a and JIS Z2801) test methods was per- formed for a wide variety of thermoplastic resins and com- pounds.
