Versaflex™ HC BIO BT218 TPEs: a finalist for the Plastics Industry Association’s People’s Choice for Plastics Sustainability Innovation Award to be announced at NPE, this grade of bio-derived thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing and deliver excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of extractables while offering the same performance as its prime counterpart but with a lower carbon footprint.

PBEI”) is a leading provider of high-performance protective solutions, including bullet, fragmentation, and stab-resistant apparel and related accessories.

However, it must be long enough for the substrate to develop sufficient properties to resist the injection pressures and not be remelted or distorted by the second shot.

These formulations effectively replace the previous prime materials used by Hager, meeting the required technical specifications, including coloration to specific RAL colors, while also providing good resistance to ultraviolet (UV) light, scratches, and impacts.
