HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN HOME APPLIANCE
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET
• Reduced appliance movement and noise –
vibration damping technology reduces
movement and noise of the appliance
when in use
• Resistance to wear and tear – TPEs are proven
to maintain their shape and resist tears with
low compression set
• Better performance and function – increase
design freedom with material selection
flexibility
• Improved processability – boost efficiency
with injection molding processing and reduce
overall production cycle time
and costs
• Reduced number of part defects – eliminate
secondary operations to achieve consistent
and controlled results
