The Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives portfolio includes antistatic additives that reduce the surface resistivity of polymers and the issues caused by electrostatic charges. These antistatic concentrates can be used to increase the visual appeal of a medical device by avoiding charge-related dust accumulation. Avient makes no warranties or guarantees respecting suitability of either Avient’s products or the information for your process or end-use application.

In most cases the elastomer in two-shot molding is limited to think walls molding which requires the elastomer to have high flow properties. From the data it can be observed that these overmold products show high flow compared to conventional TPE and TPV products. Most TPE compounds have fairly high mold shrinkage in the flow direction with minimal shrinkage in the cross flow direction.
