Bed Slat Holders
Grund GmbH & Co. KG is one of the companies expanding their traditional product offering by using Dryflex Green Biobased thermoplastic elastomers in their bed slat holders.
It was important that the TPE material was efficient to process with good flowability. It needed to be easy to colour, and the compression set properties also had to be considered.
Key Requirements
- Biobased content from renewable feedstock sources
- Recyclable in closed-loop systems
- High flowability
- Easy to colour
- Drop-in solution, without the need for tool modification
- Good compression set performance
- Durability
Chosen Material
Dryflex Green is a family of Biobased TPE materials. This means they’re partially derived from raw materials from renewable resources.
The materials aren’t biodegradable which suits the applications Dryflex Green TPEs are used for, as the end products tend to have a long shelf-life.Â
