Process Operations
How Parker Hannifin helps
Clear, practical support before a grade is locked
Friendly advisor does not mean vague. The process keeps datasheets, supply reality, tooling implications, and end-market restrictions visible from the first conversation.
Material shortlistCompare TPU, polyurethane, nylon, ABS, PET, and compound alternatives against process and part function.
Documentation packAlign REACH, RoHS, FDA 21 CFR, ISO 9001, or application-specific declarations before sample release.
Processing guidanceReview melt flow, drying needs, tool temperature, shrinkage, bonding, and storage conditions with the production team.
Sustainability optionsDiscuss recycled content, mass-balance claims, lower-carbon feedstocks, and end-of-life constraints without hiding trade-offs.
Parker Hannifin helped us compare a TPU film path against a molded elastomer path before we invested in tooling. The answer was not simply cheaper material; it was a clearer risk map for qualification, supply, and sealing performance.

Common buyer questions
Useful answers for early material screening
Can Parker Hannifin compare TPU and polyurethane for the same part?
Yes. The review can compare hardness, abrasion, flex life, chemical resistance, processing route, and expected qualification burden.
What documents should we request before samples?
Start with TDS, SDS, regulatory statements, region-specific compliance notes, and any available food-contact or biocompatibility guidance.
Can recycled-content targets be included?
Yes. The conversation should define target percentage, certification expectations, color limits, mechanical retention, and customer claim language.
Do packaging projects need a different workflow?
Often. Packaging decisions add barrier performance, seal windows, printing behavior, shelf-life testing, and end-of-life considerations.
Bring your resin shortlist, processing target, and compliance region into one practical review.
