The first material is injected
through the primary runner system white the mold volume to be occupied by the
second material is shut off from the primary runner system.
Matching the surface energy on both materials is critical for
building specific interactions between materials.
TPE materials are quantified based on Shore hardness, which is a materials
resistance to indenture on a 6.3-mm minimum thickness molded plaque (ASTM
D2240).

HOW SUPPLIERS CAN HELP EVALUATE
MATERIAL TRANSITION
Successfully using composites goes beyond simply
swapping one material for another.
Our
product development engineers use an integrated
approach that considers component and tooling
design, material performance, and manufacturing
processes to maximize the benefits of a material
change and quicken your time to market.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-04/versalloy-medical-tubing-case-study.pdf
The elastomeric
material, used to overmold a cuff on the end of the
hose, demonstrated inconsistent quality and sub-par
flow properties.
The company also sought a vendor
who could provide rapid delivery and reliable material
supply to avoid production delays.
Cost savings: The hose manufacturer is saving $33,000
per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous
material.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/Replacing%2520Metal%2520with%2520Vinyl_0.pdf
Based on the requirements provided, we
recommended Geon™ M5705, a high flow
vinyl molding material for outdoor use.
The results of the
evaluation gave Smart Hero the confidence to
replace the painted metal with Geon M5705
material.
Using Geon M5705
material for these seven colors will save an
additional $200,000 per year.
