Buford, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/24/2016 --Global specialty plastics manufacturer, KRAIBURG TPE, has partnered with BeauGen LLC, the creator of the Perfect Latch, to design a unique product for breast-feeding mothers across the nation.
BeauGen founders, Christopher Chang and Tu-Hien Le, have launched a brand new product with Perfect Latch. Perfect Latch acts as a cushion between the breast pump and the mother's skin to make it more comfortable to pump and to protect sensitive skin areas.
BeauGen needed a natural material that would be FDA-compliant as well as kind to the skin, flexible and extremely soft. Their challenge was to find a material with an extremely low Shore durometer value and high elongation at its breaking point. In addition, the material had to be colorable, while maintaining its technical properties.
KRAIBURG TPE's compound from their versatile THERMOLAST® K family was the solution for Perfect Latch. As well as meeting all the customer's technical requirements, it can be produced in small quantities and variously colored.
With Perfect Latch, the partnership between KRAIBURG TPE and BeauGen is making life much easier for mothers using breast pumps by combining innovation and manufacturing.
Perfect Latch is now available for order on the company's website http://www.beaugen.com.
