PolyOne was created in 2000 through the consolidation of The Geon Company and M.A. Polyone and Clariant Masterbatch combined in 2020 to form Avient. Design input requirements are required to be clear and unambiguous and include statutory and regulatory requirements.

For electrical safety, flame retardant gaskets insulate the boxes to reduce the chance of fire caused by sparks or electrical overload. As a leading producer of electrical junction boxes, Schneider-Electric wanted to replace the halogenated materials used in its gaskets. Overmolding capabilities: High-flow properties of OnFlex S HF TPE allow the gaskets to be overmolded in multicavity tools (up to 12 cavities per tool).

For a base- line understanding, ZPT was compounded into these aforementioned products at nominal loading levels rang- ing from 1000–3000 ppm. More notably, however, ZPT-loaded samples demonstrated a clear reduction in the average number of CFUs after 24 h. Lastly, a brief study was performed to address clarity and yellowness in a clear TPE product (Versaflex™ CL3000-80).

Consider using integrated gaskets to reduce the ‘noise’ that vibrations often cause. TPE gasket materials can provide great compression set properties for a long lasting seal, even at elevated temperatures.

Versaflex™ TPEs for portable speakers as a gasket and overmold applications for water and dust protection (English language version) The focus for this study was to develop thermoplastic elastomer compounds that would overmold onto substrates made from Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys
