Scientists estimate we are using more resources than Earth can replenish in a year — 1.75 times more than our planet’s ecosystems can regenerate. For example, you may end up using less material by designing smaller or thinner components, making products more durable so they last longer, and/or making them easier to repair. The use of multiple materials, color, and certain additives can add to the recycling complexity or limit recyclability.

The use of 2K (two-component) molding – in which the base resin is injected and allowed to set up for a short time, and then is overmolded by injecting the TPE – streamlines the manufacturing process. Without it, the company faced the prospect of having to use another production technique that would cost more and take longer. For this manufacturer, another appealing aspect of working with this material was Avient’s dedicated TPE production line in Spain, which is used solely to manufacture TPEs for overmolding applications.

A common cause of these life-threatening accidents: using ordinary spoons and cups to dose liquid medicines. During development and prototyping, the engineers used an SBS-type elastomer for this critical component – but they hadn’t settled on materials for mass production. Andwin Scientific’s patented solution improves dosing accuracy, allows the end-user to use every drop of medication and reduces the chance for an accidental spill.
