Versaflex CE 3320-70 showed no signs of staining, equal to that of the industry benchmark, a branded white silicone case. This new Versaflex offering can be pre-colored to specifications or used with a PolyOne OnColor™ masterbatch colorant. EDITORS: For a high-resolution image, please click here: Versaflex™ CE 3320-70

There are medical grade TPEs that can be autoclaved up to 135°C for 15 minutes, but the inherent thermoplasticity of most TPEs make them susceptible to softening under extreme heat. http://www.art.canaco.org https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-11/gls-acqua-plose-case-study.pdf 1http://store.elsevier.com/Handbook-of-Polymer-Applications-in-Medicine- and-Medical-Devices/isbn-9780323221696/ Tear Resistance In Handbook of Polymer Applications in Medicine and Medical Devices,1 Laurence W. The results were impressive: • Better tension set, improved compression and enhanced permeability • Slashed $70,000 from production costs by reducing cycle times and eliminating assembly steps • Lower specific gravity of TPEs trimmed overall part weight, which cut $36,000 in annual freight costs • Reprocessability of TPEs shrank scrap rates, saving more than $70,000 in material waste SWITCH TO TPEs BOOSTS BOTTOM LINE CASE STUDY READ MORE ONLINE For a manufacturer seeking to redesign a liquid injection-molded silicone medical pump valve insert, Avient suggested custom-formulated grades of Dynalloy™ OBC and Versaflex™ TPEs that would deliver better multi-functional performance than the previous design, while also facilitating easier two-shot molding.
