Increasing Healthcare Production
How TPEs can Help Manufacturers
Trends in the healthcare industry have recently created intense pressure on manufacturers to produce greater quantities of products in shorter periods of time.
One method of rising to this challenge is looking at alternatives to vulcanized rubber. The complex material that is used in productions requires an extensive process to create, and can cause a bottle-neck in a manufacturer's supply chain. Thermoplastic Elastomers, or TPEs offer a faster and more cost-effective solution.
Possible Improvements with TPEs
Here are a few ways using TPEs could benefit the healthcare industry.
- Sustainability - TPEs not require as much cleaning as vulcanized, reducing energy consumption
- Brand protection and identification
- Lower cost
