Lightweighting Avient developed a technology suite that uses specialty engineered polyketone (PK) thermoplastics and helps our customers meet their goals to lower the carbon footprint of their products versus traditional materials, like PA66 and PA6.

If you do use blowing agents, remember that parts must stay it the tool longer to prevent the foaming agent from bulging the part when ejected. To make sure the degating process does not pull a hole in the part, the cross sectional size of the gate should be between 1/10 and 1/4 the thickness of the part wall section where the gate is located. Keep this in mind when you think of a new part mold for SBC based TPEs.

Thermoplastic Elastomers | Healthcare , Regulatory Issues Starting with specific performance requirements, Avient’s formulation experts set to work developing several thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) grades that could deliver better productivity and enhanced key properties than the silicone rubber part. Extensive compatibility testing confirmed that the new grades would bond chemically with the engineering thermoplastic rigid substrate required in the device.
