Avient’s team recommended the use of overmolding (two-shot injection molding) to integrate the boot with the saw housing, and trialed several products before customizing a grade from its portfolio.
The TPE grade surpassed the performance of the previous material and allowed the manufacturer to introduce a more efficient production process.
