In addition, manufacturers of beauty and personal care packaging often require materials that are clear or brightly colored to attract consumer attention. In addition, TPEs provide good moisture barrier properties and are recyclable.

In addition, the TPV supplier was not providing sufficient quantities of the material consistently, threatening the manufacturer’s ability to meet its own customer’s needs on time. In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs.

After making the switch to OnColor FX Smartbatch color and additive concentrates, the supplier achieved a number of significant benefits: In addition, equipment costs showed a quick return on investment (ROI) because of the material savings.

But even if it could find the right TPE, the company was concerned about the additional cost of new tooling, and wanted to achieve a rapid return on its investment. In addition to a lower material cost than silicone, the custom TPE offered cycle time efficiencies, lower part weight due to its lower specific gravity, and reduced scrap rates.

Stop thinking one-for-one: Rather than looking for materials that can replace a metal part using the identical geometry, designers are now capitalizing on the additional freedom to form plastics into net shapes. Knowledgeable suppliers can also open your eyes to material possibilities you may not have considered, either with new formulations or additives and fillers.
