GLS’ New Thermoplastic Elastomer Offers Phthalate-Free / Plasticizer–Free Formulations
(Shanghai, China – April 17, 2008) GLS Corporation, which was recently acquired by PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), is a global leader in the manufacture of high-performance, custom-formulated thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). Today the company announced at Chinaplas 2008, the introduction of a new phthalate-free TPE in its specialty VERSAFLEXTM TPE product line. The new product, called VERSAFLEX CL E95 TPE, addresses recent regulations limiting phthalate-based plasticizers and a growing market demand for low-extractable TPEs. This new phthalate-free, plasticizer-free TPE offers water-clarity, sterilization capability, and low extractables. It is well-suited for a range of packaging applications, including FDA-compliant food packaging, drug storage and delivery systems, bottles, containers, cosmetic applications, and infant care products. Other applications include a variety of extruded tubing and films, blow-molded bags, and face masks. Samples of the new material are on display here in GLS booth # W2J11, Hall 2.
DSM Engineering Plastics has announced a new addition to its Arnitel® line of copolyester thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that is designed to meet the stringent performance and compliance needs of today’s automotive designers. Arnitel® C, a breakthrough technology for wire and cable coating, delivers the best high-heat aging performance of any TPE-E, combined with halogen-free flame retardance and hydrolysis resistance that surpasses that of other copolyester elastomers. Thanks to its excellent abrasion resistance, this new material offers designers the ability to reduce the weight and mass of wiring and cable through ultra-thin-wall coatings. In addition to automotive engine cables, Arnitel® C is ideal for other extrusion applications including cable harness components, convoluted tubes and hoses.
