GLS recommended a Versalloy™ thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) alloy for excellent surface quality, easy processing with excellent flow, and high tear strength. PTA was pleased with the moldability and processing ease of the Versalloy TPV, which delivers a high-quality surface finish and resists striations that can occur with other elastomers. Its high performance under rugged conditions helps generate recommendations and repeat orders.

Most GLS styrenic TPEs (Dynaflex and some Versaflex) have fairly high mold shrinkage and cause the overmolding TPE to contract more than the substrate, which can result in warpage or cupping of the substrate part. Due to the tolerance on metal and other non-compressible inserts, it is necessary to include Belleville disc springs (or high tension springs) in the design to prevent flashing of minimal thickness inserts or crushing of oversized inserts. Mechanical interlocks are used in overmolding to improve attachment to the substrate in areas subject to high stress or abrasion.

As a complement to PolyOne’s liquid Excelite CFA portfolio for extrusion, new Excelite IM CFAs are engineered for a wide range of injection molded polymers, including olefins, PVC, polystyrene, PC/ABS, and high-heat materials.
