These new grades offer application and design engineers a durable solution that reduces disinfectant-related failures, like cracking and crazing, so products and surfaces can last longer and look better.” 

These comprise several new product launches, including statically dissipative and electrically conductive thermoplastic elastomers, additives designed to enhance the recycling of polyolefins, and engineered materials and performance additives that can help customers conform to proposals from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to restrict the use of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).  

In addition to its electrical conductivity, Stat-Tech TPEs offer benefits compared to silicone and thermoset rubber, including simplified manufacturing due to single-step fabrication, more design freedom for complex geometries, and 2-component overmolding directly onto polymer substrates, reducing processing steps.
