Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs)
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) are a diverse family of rubber-like materials that can be repeatedly melt processed.
This defines TPE as a thermoplastic polymer material.

GLS™ Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomer:
• Gives OEMs the design freedom to make their own syringe stoppers and improve manufacturing processes versus traditional thermoset rubber stoppers
• Simple, one-step injection molding process versus multiple steps with thermoset rubber
• Streamlines production while increasing margins and profitability
Trilliant™ HC Thermoplastics:
• High-performance formulations with excellent chemical resistance and durability for medical device enclosures
• Available in standard grades, or can be custom formulated from an array of base polymers to meet performance and aesthetic targets
NEU™ Specialty Thermoplastic Polyurethane:
• Formulated to combine elasticity with abrasion and tear resistance for catheter tubing and tips
• Specification processing assists OEMs and processors in delivering solutions that match formulary requirements
