As environmental regulations tighten, particularly in the EU and other advanced countries, restrictions on PVC plasticizers are increasing. This has led to a growing demand for PVC alternatives in the medical field. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) have become the preferred choice for medical device manufacturers due to their environmental friendliness and recyclability. TPE materials are used to produce various medical products, such as medical catheters, infusion tubes, medical films, infusion bags, saline bottle stoppers, and disposable syringe gaskets. However, bonding or repairing soft materials during the manufacturing process remains a technical challenge, especially in the medical field, where bonding quality is critical.
Challenges of Bonding TPE Materials
Complex Composition, Difficult Solvent Bonding:
- TPE’s complex composition makes traditional single-solvent chemical bonding methods ineffective. Solvents are often pungent, non-environmentally friendly, and slow to cure.
Need for Surface Treatment Agents to Improve Adhesion:
- Most TPE materials are polyolefin-based, making them difficult to bond. They usually require a special surface treatment agent to increase surface activity before adhesive application, necessitating a two-step process.
Surface Treatment Agents Can Cause Appearance Issues:
- Overuse of surface treatment agents can lead to TPE material erosion, wrinkling, discoloration, and residue marks, affecting both appearance and bonding efficacy.
