    Elasto's special grade of Dryflex TPE provides non-slip grip for Polyco's Grip It Max gloves.

    Elasto UK Ltd., part of global thermoplastic elastomer compounding group Hexpol TPE, has developed a special grade of Dryflex TPE.

    The company said the TPE provides high levels of non-slip grip for Polyco's Grip It Max gloves.

    The Grip It Max gloves have a knitted liner with a three-quarter injection molded TPE coating, according to the company. The ergonomic design with underslung thumb matches the natural position of the hand at rest to allow for ease of movement, Elasto claimed, and the tapered fingers ensure that tasks can be performed easily.

    Elasto said the three-quarter TPE coating has been reinforced in critical areas; offers exceptional abrasion resistance for maximum protection; and has a specially designed tread pattern on the palm and fingertips that helps to provide its gripping ability.

    Elasto said it collaborated with distribution partners Distrupol UK on the development of the custom formulated grade for Polyco. The gloves can be used for transport, logistics, scaffolding, roofing, engineering and manufacturing applications.

    Dukane's laser welding system.

    Dukane's laser welding system.

    Dukane Corp. has introduced a laser welding system that the company said allows clear-to-clear plastic welding without the need of any laser absorbing additives.

    Dukane said the system incorporates a recently developed 2-micron laser with an increased absorption by clear polymers and enables a highly controlled melting through the thickness of optically clear parts.

    The company said its LaserLinQ software supports the new beam delivery system that integrates a programmable multi-axes servo gantry and a scan head while providing users the ability to break complex weld patterns into separate geometric segments, modify each segment independently and assign different welding parameters to each segment.

    All laser enclosures are Class I CDRH certified and utilize laser-safe glass viewing windows, the company claimed.

    This Dukane flexible welding system offers a variety of highly specialized tooling cassettes, the company said, and a standard, incorporate binary tool ID recognition for automatic weld recipe recall. The system can benefit industries such as medical, electronics and appliance, the company said.
