Protection against the Elements   For speaker gaskets and seals, Versaflex™ CE (40 Shore A) replaces separate O-rings with an overmolded, internal part that firmly bonds to polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), copolyester, or PC/ABS without adhesives. It avoids a need for the cumbersome mechanical interlocks and primers that silicone requires for good adhesion to rigid polymer substrates.    Media Relations Contacts

The limitation for inks used to mark fluoropolymer substrates is that they have to be able to withstand high curing temperatures, as this is the adhesion mechanism. This provides a very good adhesion to the fluoropolymer, and an extremely long-lasting mark. Contact us to learn how our fluoropolymer solutions can enhance your products.
