To get help in finding the best alternative material that could be produced faster and more efficiently, the manufacturer turned to Avient. 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. In addition, the custom grades were formulated to provide a number of other key attributes not found in the silicone rubber part, including:

Versaflex™ HC TPE is formulated to produce low coring levels in resealing applications. This formulation meets the requirements of the ISO 15759 standard for medical infusion equipment, and can be steam autoclaved using temperatures up to 121°C. Purity and cleanliness are crucial for polymers used in healthcare applications, and this formulation enhances purity not only because it offers low coring levels, but because it is made without cross-linking agents that can potentially leach into the container and interact with the sensitive pharmaceutical product.
