With some grades matching the actual density of lead (11 gm/cm3), but at a lighter weight, manufacturers see the benefits of a more sustainable solution that also offers increased design freedom and excellent chemical resistance. The design and lightweighting benefits of thermoplastics with the conductive performance of metal

Many products, from industrial tools to suitcases, use nylon grips that benefit greatly from the tactile qualities of overmolded TPEs,” said Charles Page, director of global marketing, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers. Caption: Products from tool grips to suitcase handles can benefit from superior oil and abrasion resistance with Versaflex OM TPE for nylon.

Manufacturers of catheters can benefit through increased production efficiency by eliminating a need for co-extrusion, which is typically required to manufacture striped catheters, as well as reducing material usage and complexity. PolyOne continues to innovate and develop technologies that benefit our global customers and enable healthcare professionals to improve performance,” said Craig Nikrant, president, Global Specialty Engineered Materials, PolyOne Corporation.

Aimed at delivering environmental benefits such as reduced carbon footprint and lower energy consumption, these materials are formulated to perform and meet the growing desires of environmentally conscious consumers. Lightweighting Benefits Across Multiple Industries
