HOW GLS TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN INFANT CARE APPLICATIONS
• Safe to Use – Made without bisphenol A (BPA),
phthalates, or heavy metals; select grades
compliant with FDA, REACH and China GB4806
• Durable – Resists bites and tears; many are
tested and safe to use in microwaves and
dishwashers
• Comfortable – Can be overmolded to provide a
soft touch grip and customized
to specific comfort requirements including
vibration and noise reduction
• Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and
overmolded right onto a substrate including PP,
ABS, etc
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-09/antimicrobials-for-electronics-application-bulletin.pdf
Specifically,
these additives have been proven to be effective
inhibiting E. coli and MRSA across these resins:
• TPE/TPU • PET
• HDPE • ABS
• POM • PP
• PC
Custom formulations can be validated for various
resin types, and under specific processing
conditions, at an independent testing lab to ensure
results in commercialization.
