The manufacturer began working with Avient to find a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solution to meet its dual requirements. Avient’s team recommended the use of overmolding (two-shot injection molding) to integrate the boot with the saw housing, and trialed several products before customizing a grade from its portfolio. Avient gathered detailed data from this customer’s production facility in Mexico and helped them calculate and compare the costs of the two solutions.
