Presented by Trinseo
Join Trinseo live on Thursday, May 16 from 10:00 to 11:00 EST as we provide an overview talk on why thermoplastic elastomers (TPES) are becoming a material of choice for medical devices. The presentation will be cover the macro trends in healthcare that are creating a demand for more patient- and provider-friendly devices, and how TPEs are satisfying this need as vinyl and silicone substitutes and also with overmolding.
This webinar will provide an overview of TPE chemistries, key properties of the materials, and measurement standards. It will also look at the overmolding process as well as adhesion including strength, measurement, and troubleshooting. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the best applications appropriate for TPEs, the suitability of the various TPE materials, and technical considerations.
