The hose manufacturer decided to explore other material options that would meet requirements such as excellent colorability, good surface appearance, high flow for optimal productivity, and of course, compliance with U.S. 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.

In addition to cost savings, replacing metal would enable the closure producer to provide its spirits customers with customization in density and color, because Gravi-Tech formulations are colorable, and can be tuned to replicate up to 5 times the density of traditional polymers.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Nucleating Agents Colors are used in the medical industry for brand recognition, the coding of different pharmaceuticals, or visual appeal. However, pigments used to color plastic parts can cause warping or shrinking, leading to dosing inaccuracy or even malfunctioning healthcare devices.

These sustainable materials are also customizable, but changes to color or formulation to achieve application-specific needs will require the product carbon footprint to be recalculated. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Negative, neutral, or low PCF • Available in 60 and 80 Shore A • Performs like traditional TPEs • Naturally opaque and easy to color • Suitable to injection mold, or overmold onto PP and PE MARKETS & APPLICATIONS The portfolio of reSound ultra-low carbon footprint TPEs is ideal for brand owners and manufacturers who prefer to use a more sustainable material in personal care, household appliance, consumer electronics, and consumer packaging applications.
