Currently, the Versalloy TPV is used in the manufacture of end cuffs for a variety of repeated-use surgical and respiratory hoses. THE IMPACT Avient’s expertise in materials for medical device applications helped this customer make a smooth transition to the GLS TPV. Cost savings: The hose manufacturer is saving $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material.

Using Versalloy™ TPV, Biowave adds safety, durability and signature blue color GLS recommended a Versalloy™ thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) alloy for excellent surface quality, easy processing with excellent flow, and high tear strength. Versalloy TPV contributes light weight and a sure grip that is important for safety and precision.

Special grade of TPV can be used for various medical application, however is opaque. At same hardness, PVC and TPV have a much higher modulus and lower elongation than SBC compound. Therefore, SBC compound has a better “rubber” feeling than both PVC and TPV.

General purpose TPV alloys offer exceptional flow, lower shrink rate, and aesthetics over typical TPVs. Our Versalloy™ HC Series TPVs are ideal for medical devices that are designed with long, thin flow paths, and they're highly colorable with a smooth tactile feel.

Spiral flow testing of developed products was conducted and is reported in Table 5 along with a conventional TPE and TPV of similar hardness. From the data it can be observed that these overmold products show high flow compared to conventional TPE and TPV products.
