THE CHALLENGE A leading North American manufacturer of polypropylene (PP) hose for medical applications, including laser surgery, respiratory care and sleep apnea equipment, faced a challenge with its existing thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV). The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended GLS Versalloy™ XL- 9045-1 alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP. THE IMPACT Avient’s expertise in materials for medical device applications helped this customer make a smooth transition to the GLS TPV.
