MATERIALS New TPE compounds are available in hard- nesses from 50 to 90 Shore A, in natural and black as well as custom colors, from Hexpol TPE, Sandusky, Ohio. Dryflex DW compounds are designed for applications that come into contact directly or indirectly with drinking water, including domestic and commercial applications such as plumbing seals, pipe fittings, and shower heads. Designed for injection molding or extrusion, they are said to bond to PP and PE in multi- component applications. These compounds have passed German drinking-water regulations for cold and warm water (73.4-140 F; 23-60 C). They reportedly boast no microbial growth without the use of biocides. The raw mate- rials used to produce these compounds are compliant with EU food-contact regulation No. 10/2011. 800-837-4921 • hexpoltpe.com TPE for Drinking Water Applications A new series of thermoplastic compounds from RTP Company, Winona, Minn., is formulated to allow for high-contrast marks and images to be added to an application via laser processing. A variety of polymers, including clear substrates, can be compounded to optimize laser marks, which eliminates the need for inks, paints, and dyes, thus saving on processing costs. The company claims to have overcome the challenge of laser marking clear resins with additives that absorb specific wavelengths of energy to create a high-contrast mark while allowing the resin to remain clear. This is particularly key for injection pens, drug pumps, and medical packaging. The company also offers its new laser-markable compounds in white, black, or custom colors. 507-454-6900 • rtpcompany.com Laser-Markable Compounds Allow High Contrast 70 JUNE 2017 Plastics Technology PTonline.com Keeping Up W it h Technolog y
