Starting with specific performance requirements, Avient’s formulation experts set to work developing several thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) grades that could deliver better productivity and enhanced key properties than the silicone rubber part.
The new materials also offered quick set-up and faster cycle times, resulting in higher productivity.
Superior tension set

To resolve startup problems, the material's process window must first be determined to ensure that there is a set of conditions that can make good parts.
Start by setting the process conditions to the middle of the material's process range and then adjust the process to fix any observed problems.
If the mold setting is from a previously successful part, check the original setup conditions.
