This not only caused a high scrap rate, but also led to frequent interruptions in the automated process so that the mold and machine could be cleaned.
In addition to a lower material cost than silicone, the custom TPE offered cycle time efficiencies, lower part weight due to its lower specific gravity, and reduced scrap rates.

In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs.
These savings resulted from Versalloy’s lower specific gravity (0.88 compared to 0.95) and a 50% reduction in scrap rate.

• A number of different shapes and
designs are created and simulated to
determine which one works best
• Refining to meet EN standard
• VDT TPEs can help reach compliance
with EN1621-1 level 2 and EN1621-2
level 1
• Optimum protection can be achieved
by combining industrial design and
engineering
